Just measured ny shee's compression today. It was like 5 degrees (celsius)...I don't know what altitude, but not much (montreal).
The gizmo climbed up to 80 after 3-4 kicks and slowly to 100psi...and then the pressure would go down. Should I blame the gizmo measurer for the pressure diminishing, or is something wrong inside (I would go for the gizmo's fault).
Anyway, do you guys think I should change my rings, or pistons?

Thanks

PS. Even with loctited nuts, the disc and sprocket get loose, the twist is cool, and K&N is great.

You need a top end rebuild.It should hit 150lbs after 2-4 kicks.
