    Spec is 140psi+
    I don't get half that, but I'm on Zeal cams. Zero leakdown with 130psi applied (rings 0.2mm and oil 0.25, cyl honed) and valves lapped - clearances set in the upper half. NFI, but it's going great guns... caught some youngsters on superbikes going up the slide.
    OK, that was bullshit. I only caught one.

    Measuring the compression pressure on these small engines is always a challenge. The volume of air trapped in the compression gauge/tubes is significant in comparison the the combustion chamber volume. This will through your theoretical readings right out. You can only rely on the manufacturers numbers when they specify a specific instrument to use.
    Just check that all cylinders are the same, then enjoy riding it.

    Peter.
