How much compression should a XR250 have? I remember them being a bitch to start, but the last time i started one i was only 12 or 13.

I got my project XR250 '95 running, seems to run fine, but it seems a little easy to kick over considering it has brand new piston and bore, as well as having the decomp cables cut.

The wiring has been a bitch on it as well, bloody powdercoat...

Pretty stoked that it runs though, the guy that bought a new piston and got it re-bored wasnt very smart selling it. $500 all up so far and I have a bike with a brand new top end and powdercoated frame. Heard anything about that speedo spacer thing barty?

my one is very similar.
after kicking the 450 over and then kicking these over it seems so easy.
it feels like they have no compression what so ever.
mines a bit tempremental to start at the moment though.
