Cylinder PSI

[Guest]

1981 gs 1100e. What kind of cylinder pressure should I be seeing? Thanks in advance.

128-171 psi according to the factory suzuki service manual. http://www.mtsac.edu/~cliff/storage/...-SD-ED-ESD.pdf

That depends on if the valves are adjusted correctly, and on whether or not you test it correctly.

What numbers did you get?

Haven't tested yet. I'm out of country till the end of next week. Thanks for the numbers, I'll post up results.

Amount other things, proper testing means hold open the throttle while cranking. Might save you a little heart failure from a low set of numbers

Engine at operating temperature, throttle held wide open, valves adjusted properly. If the engine has sat for a while the compression may be low until you exercise the beast a little.
