[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 176312, member: 425"] I know what you mean by the bruised and battered foot. Even with MX boots, I have had huge purple bruises trying to start my 89 YZ250. It has relatively low compression ~160psi. But, You can't gauge compression with the kickstart. Never trust what you feel at your foot, it is very misleading. Example, I can start my KX85 with my hand, it has 190psi compression. The 'feel' is based on the mechanical efficiency of the kickstart mechanism. Only a gauge can tell you, accurately, your compression reading. In a 2T the transmission oil and crank oil are separate. What you drained and refilled was transmission fluid. The crank is lubricated with the pre-mixed oil in the fuel.-BIG DAN:thumb:[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
