I've been working on my bike on my off time.i have the rest of the year off and i have to use my time smart.in my attempts to find an electrical problem i pulled the plugs and noticed that they were a little silverish,the po told me it was jetted...oh well.i pulled the tank off ,just to make things easier to check, cause i wanted to check compression and maybe the valve clearances tomorrow.i dont know what to check first,i need help,should i check the carbs first or the compression or the valves or should i be checking something else instead... i don't know,can you dudes please give me some input...thanks

With silver plugs the first thing I'd do is shine a light through the spark plug hole and look at the top of the piston(s). Silver plugs are generally caused by detonation, and that's not good.

Have you ever heard this bike run?

I'd do a compression check to make sure you don't have a holed piston, if the compression is there, then I'd adjust the valves and recheck the compression.

If everything else is good, then mess with the carbs.
