anyone got some compression gauges?

[Lord Farquaad]

After my mishap on wednesday, the bike looks like itll need some major work. first off i want to check the compression, but have no gauges for it. anyone got a set i might be able to borrow for a day or 2?

I'll have a look at work mate. Dunno if the thread size would be right tho

I've got a couple of the rubber tipped ones you hold in if required.

Pity you didn't post this early enough for me to see cos I could have given them to the missus who works in Freo.

Compression test won't tell you much unless the motor is hot athough you can squirt some oil into the cylinder to help things along. Have you tired simply pulling the plugs turning the motor on the starter to clear the cylinders of any excess fuel/oil cleaning the plugs and trying to start it. If you do have low compression hopefully its just a head gasket.

I have what thread is it ?? Or what bike ?

Thats something I have never done on a multi cylinder bike - how do you do that?

1 at a time, or do you have to screw in 4 guages??

sorry, bikes a cbr250rr. Id just like to do a compression test to get a general idea before i start ripping things apart

Sorry mate, I had a look here at work, but we've only got gauges threaded to suit the engines we work on, which are a little big larger than a babyblade engine . Looks like you've got some other offers tho. Good luck with it.
