Default compression leak down test

this is a two part question

one, can you get a tester to fit on the 650, i guess the plug size is smaller than a car plug, and i havnt been able to find any set up to work on the bike

two, if i do find one what is a good leak down precentage

thanks

Most good leakdown testers have the right adapters..I used a MAC and it had the right adapter
I have heard 3 percent or less?...for the DS,
You might have to pull the valve cover..to make sure the decompression lever is not engaged(when at TDC)

2% is prefect. 10% needs overhauled. 20% no power.

The first leak down test I did..I didn't lock the crank..and I got a false reading..
I went back and re-tested and had 20%...with in seconds it blew a good amount of oil on the floor(out of the breather)
