95 ZX9R Compression was created by ajsfirehawk
I'm going to look at a 95 ZX9R tomorrow. Reported to be and looks to be excellent condition. I asked if I could do a compression test since it has 21K miles on it and he said it was no problem. I'm guessing (and I hate to guess) it ought to be north of 130 lbs compression per cylinder and even within about 10 lbs per cylinder. Any experts out there that can tell me what the compression ought to be on a warm engine? I've got a recently purchased Motion Pro compression tool.

I don't see it until tomorrow Steve but I'll do that. I'm preparing my checklist of what I want to look at tomorrow. I have to create a bulleted list and check them off or my passion for bikes runs away with me and I get amnesia. Here is a link:

Should be fun. My aunt's new husband came from Mexico City to buy a Honda CB 450 twin. I did the finger test and he said "MY god, he even sticks his finger up it's A**hole!" :lol:
It was clean, he bought it and rode the piss out of it. :woohoo:

I've had quite a few bike slip through my hands like that. I try to look on the bright side; more $$ in my pocket and more garage space.
