    Hi, Can anyone tell me the acceptable compression readings for a
    xs850G (UK model, 1984). I'm getting - Cyl 1,- 108 psi, Cyl 2,- 100,
    Cyl 3, 100. Does anyone know what they SHOULD be ? - Thanks, J.

    Even if the compression is low, as long as it's consistently the same
    in all 3 cyls, it'll run.
