Does anybody know what the engine compression on a KZ200 should be?

Should be in your manual but just about all 4 stroke engines are built with minimums of around 100psi to 120psi for proper combustion.

Realize that to do a proper compression test...
- engine hot
-valves adjusted
-fully charged battery
-throttle held open
-engine in running condition and having recently run for 100+ miles. Don't try to do a compression test on an engine that has sat stationary for a number of years until you do a good ol Italian tune up!
