I was just on DRR's website looking around and under the Tech section it listed compression values for the different years. Mines an 08 90cc and DRR says it should be "approx 180psi" w/ throttle wide open. Is anyone getting values that high on a stock engine?? My engine is having trouble getting off idle - so I did a comp check and I'm only getting 100 psi - so I know its low but omg I didnt think it was that low. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

100 psi cold is no good......that's about 80 to 90 hot. Time to rebuild.

rebuild is a must! If I recall correctlt you need at least 80psi to fire and engine which your pretty much there (aint good)

thanks - yes the comp is low and the bike fires and idles - it just doesnt want to get off the idle circuit.

The real question is - should the bike be at 180psi like the DRR site said or am I missing something?
