Compression Service Limit

[HOTRODKY428]

COULD ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE COMPRESSION SHOULD BE ON A 1991 KDX 200. I BELIEVE THIS BIKE HAS NEVER BEEN TORN DOWN.I WOULD LIKE TO GET AN IDEA OF THE CONDITION OF THE ENGINE BEFORE I GO TO THE EXPENCE OF BUYING A NEW REAR HUB,CHAIN AND SPROCKETS,GUIDE,AND BRAKE ROTER.IT STILL RUNS GOOD.BUT IM AFRAID IF I TEAR INTO IT RIGHT NOW I WILL CONSIDER IT TO FAR GONE TO REPAIR.SO IF IT IS ANYWHERE CLOSE ILL KEEP MY GREEN MACHINE. THANKS ROB

Make sure you follow the proper procedure - engine warm, throttle held wide open and whatever else the manual may say on the subject otherwise you may get an erroneous reading.
