Compression

[deerekillr]

I finally picked up my compression test kit from my garage and got to checking my fresh motor. After kicking the crap out of it I got about 185 out of both cylinders. Like I said, this is a fresh build from a used basket case bike I picked up. I had the cylinders bored out because they were fucked and they had to go .080" over to get them clean. That was alot bigger than I wanted and expected. Plus theres what I believe to be a woods port job done by "Krank It" whoever that is....and the 18cc domes from the cool head. I was expecting to run race gas because before I put a gauge on it because it felt real snotty just kicking it, but I didnt expect the numbers to be that high.

 

I'm just planning on riding trails and blowing around in open fields, nothing major. I dont think I need the added stress of all that compression for just jerking around. My little penis days of having to have the fastest shit around are long gone, now I just need some after work stress relief and having to pick up the pieces of my engine will not help that cause.

 

So what do you guys think and what size domes do you think might be better for my situation to drop the compression if thats necessary.

go up to a 19cc or 20cc dome and your compression will drop. 185 is getting up there, but not unheard of..
