Ive just rebuilt my top and bottom end of my first dirt bike-a 1985 yz125. What is the specified compression for this bike? Im getting about 120 psi but I think this is low.

Did you check the ring end gap? Are you testing with the throttle full open?

Sounds like you're doing it ALL wrong. You should be testing it on a warm engine, with the throttle wideopen, and keep kicking until the gauge quits rising (5 or 10 kicks).
