    Stock GS1100E compression?

    Does anyone know the corresponding psi value for stock compression on an 82 GS1100E? The reason I ask is because I just bought the bike and it has a sticker on it for wiseco pistons and I want to know if they are actually in there without pulling the heads. So I figured I'd use a compression tester to see if it is stock or not. Any input?

    Thanks,

    Sami

    Never mind! Found it in my manual... It's 121-178 psi,figured I'd post it for the next person who might be wondering

      How many heads does your motor have? Ray.

        I'm not sure if you're making a back-handed comment here or not, because I know you have quite a lot of experience with these motors, but I'll answer anyway and assume it was friendly curiosity. Well 4 cylinders have 4 heads as far as I'm concerned... I understand that on these bikes they are machined out of one piece of metal and are therefore referred to as one "head". I've only had this bike for a couple weeks so I'm still getting used to the symantics.

              I had a sbc 350 that had three heads but that was after leaving oil and antifreeze all over the track.
