The bike is an 04cr500af and this is my first 500 so bear with me.
After a few good sand dune rides full throttle full load the bike seems easier to kick over, still runs way fast though. I run it at 32/1 and a little rich for sand dunes riding, but I expect some compression loss.
I came online to find about how much compression to expect from the 500, and I came up with about 150 psi. Is this about in the range? Also I read an old thread that I need more information about.

Papakeith said:I don't know about theKX but the newer CR500s had a notch cut into the cylinder wall to allow for easier kick starting. Kind of like the decompression levers(without the lever).
Will this affect the way I take a compression test?
Will this affect the compression level?
Thanks for any input.
