Good evening.

Can anyone please let me know what the compression should be.

Is the Elr engine the same as the Z1000J? if yes then the web states...

Standard = 159-188 psi.
Usable = 121-188 psi.

Does that sound about right?

Cheers

Stu

Kawasaki guidelines state that anything above 120 is serviceable. If is is getting lower that this there may be issues i.e. values not seating correctly, worn rings or glazed bores?
