Stock compression?

[midlifecrisis]

Ive had a couple of issues over the last couple of days, so Im wondering what stock compression is supposed to be?

Also, Ive heard a variety if things to do when checking it, should it be wide open throttle when testing it?

throw the compression tester on, hold the throttle wide open, kick it 3 times as hard as you can, or until the needle stops moving

as for stock compression... um somehwere around 120-130? someone corrrect me if im wrong

yes, wide open throttle, kick it until the needle quits moving. should be in the area of 120psi

about 125 should be good compression for your bike, anything over 100 is rideable though
