Compression test
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 5:56 am
Hi,
I need to know how to rate compression tests. I guessing they're different for different bikes, but is 120 psi good for a yam xs400??
Also, the gauge doesnt climb right away to 120 psi. It takes at least 4-5 compression strokes to climb to that rating. The engine does idle well, so I neednt worry for now. I wonder if I will have to look into the engine sometime soon or is it all OK??
Thanks
