Tip Failure Symptoms ?

It certainly seems like you have a small chip on the end of a tip.
I would not drive it anymore untill you get it properly compression tested.

balls..................... LOL

Oh well, looks like its going off the road for a bit. Too skint to fix her till I get paid again so guess i better find a runabout, certainly dont want to be driving about on my motorbike for the rest of the month in this weather!

Thanks for the info Carl, will a proper compression test show a chipped tip up ?

Also if you do chip a tip am I likely to require a rotor housing as well as new tips ?

Hi Steve,
A proper rotary compression tester should show it up.

Cheers Carl,

Do mazda dealerships have one ? Just i only have a normal compression tester and there is nowhere up here in scotland that I know of that has one

Some do have,but they aren\'t cheap to get the test done and also they seem to be a bit poor at doing the test,ring around.
