The service manual says to warm it up throughly, remove the spark plugs and test by holding the throttle wide open while using the starter to crank the engine. Usable range is from 47lbs - 80lbs. My concern is that I only came in at 52lbs on both front and rear cylinders which is on the low end of the scale. After 2500 kms I dont seem to be suffering from any loss of power or oil consumption.
I did not perform a compression test when it was new so I have no baseline to go by.
What is everyone else getting for compression readings?

 

I did a compression test on my 360, it should be around 180, & mine only read 95. There must be some special way to do a test on a kawi or something, because mine runs strong, I know i dont have a compressions problem.. I had the same thing on my old P-300 as well

 

The only reason why I tested it was I heard a rumor that they would loose compression in the rear cylinder?

 

Don't worry about the compression reading; the wide range is due to variations in the auto-decompression system. As far as losing compression in the rear cylinder, I haven't heard that one. I've heard of the odd valve being too tight in the rear cylinder, that would cause a compression loss.
