125psi. Lmfao. Did you even overbore and set clearance??!

Sheaster. Your rebuild was worthless. Stock banshees put out more compression. Or stop using your harbor freight compression tester. Do any of you actually use a service manual?

Oh wow. Nobody wants to help this kid. They just want to argue.

Tryin to help...

Bigweav it wasnt a joke. KTM 85. 185psi.

Unless you are 5000 feet or above. Air is much less dense.

Shouldn't forget that individual cylinder comp doesnt mean much. Make sure they are not more than 10% difference from eachother. 120psi is shit.

I rebuilt a 2004 KTM 85sx last week, 185psi.

If you consider 120 a good number then so be it. I like 160 plus. And realize a fresh rebuild is not seated in. Maybe it will say 130 before you ever run it, but when the rings seat in, and you still only have 120....good luck.

Do yourself a favor. Re tap and install time serts. With new head studs.

Dude its your pancake bearing. The pushrod that connects the rod and ball that run through your trans shaft. It pushes against your pressure plate, and if the nut on the outside of the pressure plate is not loc tited correctly it will back its self out causing the gap from pushrod to pressure plate to increase, eventually it will be nothing but slop in clutch line. Drain oil, pull clutch cover, hold pushrod with a Phillips head screwdriver and loosen locknut completely with 10 MM wrench, and turn in the pushrod until you have about a nickel worth of free play on your clutch lever. Now hold the pushrod tight with a Phillips head, and use RED (high strength) loc tite and tighten that locknut while holding the pushrod steady with the Phillips head. Let the loc tite set up for two hours. Fill with 1500cc of oil. Ride. Smile.

Do yourself a favor and buy a new set up.

You shouldn't need anything other than stock needles. You are nearly stock. Drop to a 27.5 pilot. Replace your rings. 120psi is shit. 5N7 needles are stock. 2 turns out on air screws is stock. First things first. Pull cylinders off and replace rings and re-hone (if piston to Cyl wall isn't over .003). You will be a happier camper.
