ok, Even if it don't turn over fast enough at least you will get a base line compression psi... That in it self can tell you a lot about the condition of your engine etc...

From what the manual says it will turn about 350-400 RPM off the starter, so you should see that 90PSI not the 130 so don't panic when you do the compression testing.

The Rpm on mine with the battery charged up, and just pushing the E-button is over 500 rpms. Takes it a few sec to get there tho. Hope this helps you out.

later

Its very frustrating at times, not being able to use my arm/hand. Also this is prime riding time here...trails are perfect..but i gotta figgure, btter to loose the use of my arm for a while, and the riding season, then to loose my life! Im lucky, so ill use that to get me through each day...ill ride again..might not be on a pred, might have to go to an auto bike, something that i wont have the front brake on my right hand...also might have to move the throttle to the left also....but before i do any of that, im gonna heal up, and see what future surguys do for me.
