Will the KACR affect compression readings? This is for a KLR 250.
Thanks in advance,
Nate in N.E.
was diesel emmissions, now suv's

Sorry Dooden, you can't have your Jeep. They are all currently ranked as SUV's. At least that is the way it will be someday if Americans, as well as Californians, don't fight back.

Ummm yes.. if it bleeds off excessive pressure to make it easier to
start, there is less compression.
Not sure how to do a compression test on something with automagic
compression release, other than to disable it while taking
measurements.

Duh. I realize I phrased my question poorly (or perhaps it was just
a stupid question). As you pointed out, what I meant to ask was if
there was a way to test the compression on a bike with auto
compression release.
What I realized in the meantime, by checking the service info on the
kawi site (BTW, that's awesome that you can get the fiche and stuff
online -- Honda is a pain in the ass in that regard) is that the
compression that the shop measured was already in excess of the kawi
spec.
The shop had told the owner of the bike that he'd probably need to
replace the piston rings due to the low (125psi) compression that
they measured. According to the spec, it's only supposed to be
99psi. Looks like it's all set!
Now, if I could only get the damn thing started...
