      Yes, values in the manual. The engine should run at 100 psi, but that's bare minimum and below the recommended service limit.

      Make sure the engine is up to operating temperature, the valves adjusted, and the throttle held wide open. If the bike sat for some time you won't get a true compression reading either since the rings tend to stick during storage.
