Best Answer

The same as with an automobile engine. Remove 1 plug and insert compression tester (available at all automore parts stores)and follow the compression testors instructions. When doing a compression test, the throttle must be wide open for free passage of air into the engine. If the bike has CV carbs, the slides are opened by vacuum, so you will need to go into the carb with a stick or something, and lift the slide open while doing the check.

When engine is cold there is horsepower but when the engine is hot there is no horsepower?

I would say that maybe your compression may be low. check that. The hotter the engine gets the less compression there is. maybe your engine is heating up too much, because your thermostat might not be operating right. --- Yes, check the compression when it is cold and then again after hot. It could be leaking in the heads or valve train when it heats up. Metal expands when hot.
