bad ass camaro Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 i have 52 lbs of compression it seems low but i dont know Quote
quikshee Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 You need a top end rebuild REAL BAD!! Minimum to make it run is about 90PSI I think standard compression is like 135 Quote
F.BEJARANO Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 ^^^^^ what he said! get it done now and get it ported while your at it. Quote
jamebo Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Yes if your tester is reading correctly you need a re-build asap! Quote
DallasGDub Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 As Kevin Herr once told me, anything lower than 105, it is time to rebuild. Should be around 121 on a stock head. So your WAY below that. With it being that low, you should notice running issues. Have you had any? If not I would try a diff tester. If you still need it, might as well send it off for port and rebuild like J.B said. Quote
hercalmighty Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Make sure your doing it the right way. Hold the throttle all the way open and kick it over until the needle stops moving. Quote
278 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Thats really low like they said i think it should be like 120-125 stock. So try a defferent tester and if its the same get it rebuilt, like they said above if its apart you should get it ported, because you will want to sooner or later Quote

LiftdT4R Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 If you actually had 53 pis, you wouldnt be able to start it, and the bike would run like real shit. Anything below 90 your going to start to notie really quick. Your doing something wrong or your comp testor is broekn. Are you kicking it until it stops going up? Quote
