Ok, so my Dad and I just rebuilt a 1986 RM250. We put all sorts of new parts and stuff in it, so it should be running like new( even though in my opinion it isn't). So we did a compression test on it and came up with 160.
Now, my old WR250(2-stroke !!) has started acting up. It will start and I can get it to about the top of the driveway and then it completely stops running. I asked around, and I found out that it hasn't been rebuilt in at least 6 years, maybe 7 or 8, and I have been riding it hard and steady for about 2 years, and before that who knows. So we did a compression test on it and came up with 225 !!! On a worn out old WR !! :uh:
So I need to know, what should the compresion be on these bikes?
