Hello does anyone know the compresion pressure of fs450 2008. Am doing a compression test and i cant find any info how much it should be.
Thanks

So an absolute compression reading is pretty tricky to get. (Does a cold engine give a meaningful measurement? Does the decompressor allow meaningful compression tests?)

It would have been best to have taken compression readings when the bike was known-good :) (Hard to go into the past, unfortunately :( I need to do this for my bikes!) Then if the compression starts going down in subsequent tests, you can deduce that something is wearing.

What reading do you get, and how are you testing?

For a meaningless comparison, I know that a DR-Z400 should get 950kPa / 9.5 kgf/cm² 135 psi - with an on-cam automatic decompressor working and bleeding off compression. The E type is 12.2:1 static compression and has a decently wide rev range so dynamic compression shouldn't be miles away from a 'Berg.

However! A leakdown test might tell something more concrete.

Or have a look down the cylinder and replace rings just to be sure? Do a compression test before and after?
