    compresion ?

    any of you guys know what the stock compresion should be on one of these babies ?

    there has got to be something wrong with this thing.
    I am 220 and have to hit a bump with my arse hanging off the back to get it to wheelie.

    compression of the spring rates or compression ratio of the piston? my dad works at a suzuki/honda dealer, he will know.

    piston compression,
    my z250 just seems low on power, Im checking compression to see if I need rings. (it starts up really fast and easy so Im grasping at straws)

    I cant figure out why this thing is such a terd

    the stock compression is 9.2:1

    but my brother has a wiseco high compression 10.5:1

    here are his mods, im 16 and weigh about 165, and can ride a wheelie just as good as my 400ex.

    CHM P-4R slip-on exhaust
    DynoJet kit
    Factory Suzuki swingarm skidplate
    Polished & Ported head
    PowerMadd handguards
    ProCom rev box
    Uni Air filter
    Versha Valves
    WebCam stage 2 cam
    WebCam valve springs
    Wiseco 10.25:1 piston

    only one problem, theres too much power for the suspension and chassic, there are elka's to get for it though

    do you know the psi it should have stock ?

    my 250r was around 185 psi but it was a 2 stroke, Im not sure how close to that it should be.

    high as 200, but normal reading would be 130 to 175
