Finally did a compression test on my bike

BobTheBiker · 05-08-2009, 11:00 AM

looks like its tuned pretty good to me. for a bike with 150+k miles on it only being a few pounds short of the spec on compression is EXCELLENT. that impresses me.

Those numbers are impressive man. Plugs loose awesome too.

Here's a little something I learned from a guy at the dealership I work for. When he put the fuel pressure regulator on my bike (this is before I owned it) he also wanted to check compression. Due to the very small plugs that we have, he had no way to connect his standard guage to it. He took an old plug that he had from changing these and broke the ceramic out of it and removed everything but the threaded end/base and the hex head. He then threaded the upper portion of that to match his hoses for his guage and there you have it, instant adapter. I plan on doing the same thing the next time I change out the plugs as I want to be able to keep a check on it each time I do plugs.
