Compression What should the compression be on a good class B bike? I've got 9 bar on the front and a smidge over 7 on the rear on the engine in the bike. My spare measured at a smidge over 9 on the front and 9.5 on the rear. |
7 bar is to low where as 9 to 10 bar isn't bad |

It is the flooded rear cylinder. I'll drop the spare engine in for Anglesey and have the current engine apart on the bench I think. It hydrolic locked at one point, so I'm guessing I may have damaged something then if it wasn't already low. |
Measured mine yesterday 6 bar front 6.5 bar rear LOL .. Think it's time I swapped that engine |

worth checking valves first- if clearances are out enough can loose compression- if they are its as easy to pull off the heads then you can grind them in before you set clearances and can check state of bores and measure rings at the same time |

or its even easier to get miles to do it for you.. :) |

tell you what matt- the money people seem to charge for doing such things i'm beginning to wonder if carpentry isn't the wrong business to be in! |

Its not what people are charging Miles it's the daft buggers paying the elevated prices. One could be busy working for nothing but sensible fees should apply. :D |
