    Take it apart and check the spring and seals, clean off the grease and relube sparingly. Rebuild and check power again.

    Personally, I'd replace the breech seal and re chrono' it before she comes apart. If it's still low then maybe a full piston seal and guide tune up. You could even consider short stroking it. But you might just find the five quid seal fixes it.

    My money would go on the maxi kit from here. Best £43 you'll ever spend on a springer

    If the breech seal looks flat, replace it.
    If when stripped the piston seal looks brown and feels brittle in any way replace that too.
