Hadn't ridden a 125 for ages but did last month. Was quite easy to kick over. But yeah as above. Compression testers are a very blunt tool, many people put way too much trust in them
-but if you have circa 170psi or so you should eliminate a massive mismatch of parts.
Borrow one with right thread for your plug. Not push in type. Throttle wide open. 10 quick kicks.


We tested a mates 125 Aprilia Road bike on Sunday. About 30psi. Had stopped running suddenly. Yep. That'll do it. Stuck ring for sure
