What is normal compression on a 750?
I took a reading after a good long ride, both spark plugs out, throttle wide open, it came out at 190 pounds psi...which seemed a little high to me, I thought the valve clearances might need adjusting but they are spot on.
Is there any other adjustment which might change the compression reading?
It is possible that the head has been skimmed a little too much I suppose, but I'm not sure how I could check this. If this is the case I know I could fit a spacer under the barrel, but I don't really want to tear things down if I don't have to.
I'd welcome your comments. Thanks, Alex
