m671054 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Heres a really dumb question but lets say you wanted to perform a comp test with an engine on the bench. Do you need to have the carbs installed or just the reeds and intake? What about the exh? Would the reading be lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Need the motor in the bike, exhaust mounted, carbs and air box hooked up. Kick by intervals of 6 till you do 60 kicks. Check reading. Start bike warm it up and begin the process again until you do 60 kicks per side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie B Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ya need the plugs in thats about it. I can't see you being able to kick it over without being in the bike though. Kick it untill you get a max reading it will only go so high. If I wrong someone please say lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do it on the bench just fine with just the reeds and intakes installed as long as you have some way figure out to kick it over. No need for exhaust or anything else. Just let us know how you decided to kick it over hard enough to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 No need to kick it over. Just turn it over like the drag guys do from the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Higher than normal cranking speed will raise compression readings. But you guys are right about trying to kick over a loose engine good luck. Time to drag the spare frame into the garage. Thanks for the input.
