I was wondering what the compression (PSI) was of a stock Shee. I low can you go before having any problems. Any feedback would be appreciated.

when you get around 110 or so it's time to rebuild. i think they also say if you have like a 20% difference between the cylinders you need to rebuild also. other than that your good to go

well it depends on your altitude, a brand new banshee here at 6400ft will only have about 95 psi. With 18cc domes, I get 135-140.

It is good to get a baseline, then you can tell when it starts to drop. That is what I did with mine. the 20% thing is a good rule of thumb also.

Hard starting can be a symptom of low compression, you could ask some shops around your area what kind of psi they get.

i'm not very educated in this how do you check the compression is there some sort of gauge you buy?

 

yea, it is a thing that screws down into your cylinder(spark plug hole) and when you roll it over, it guages your commpression. at least that is the way the one i saw worked

There is a small writeup on compression testers in the Honda forum.
