    So I tested the compression, I figure since it is a 2 stroke I should just kick it over as fast/hard as I could repetitively until the compression peaks right? Is this the correct procedure? I did it with the tank off but fuel still in the carb so fuel = oil so no need to oil the cylinder when checking?

    I spoke to the previous owner he never did a top end but doing the method above it peaked at 180psi. Is this okay for a 125cc? It runs fantastically and rips like no other but seems like the plug is quite dark/rich. But it may have had too rich of premix or poor quality premix in it before.

    At what psi should I think of replacing the rings/piston?

    Also is there a service or workshop manual for a bike this old? I mainly interested in the parts on engine disassembly assembly and trouble shooting any electrical (for the future).

    Thanks yall.

    I like to warm the bike up first . 170 and 180 are very very. good. Depends on the guage. . My new 125 was 150. The 144 about 160. And the 165 was 180
