I wouldn't worry bout the comp if they were all the same.....if you had a prob usually they would vary quite a bit. a couple of questions.....Did you hold the throttle wide open? and did you squirt some oil down the plug holes to see what it did?

Compression test was conducted in the following sequence...

remove exhaust system
remove engine and place on work bench.
remove carburettors for overhaul
remove plugs for inspection-all in good condition
spray WD-40 at inlet ports and down plug holes
turn engine over from battery
add 10ml engine oil down each plug hole
turn engine over
add a further 10ml engine oil down each plug hole
compession test each cylinder three times.

all readings were 90psi.

Man that's an expensive diaphram... mine was only $50.

I hope the message got through about valve settings--
With the engine cranking slowly 90psi is not too bad.
With a car battery hooked up and cranking at a decent speed the compressions will come up

Yep,just checking whether they'd done the oil thing and the throttle thing....makes a big diff as you know.....sounds all good and I second the valve clearance thing....

Thanks guys!

Xj I got those numbers!thank you very much.
Death inc. cheers for checking up on me.
I feel like I might be a little yea yea I know what I'm doing on the site but it sure is nice to have you guys double checking for me...I'd hate to miss something and find out later when Sharon rides the little beast.
I feel a little like I'm packing someone elses parachute for them...This damn thing is so small to work on.

Was that you who waved out at me last night as i was going down middle of the road beside were the old toll booths use to be??

dont worry about compression too much those 4 cylinder 250s are low anyway thats why they rev to 20000. also try smythe and yeates in cambridge to get your discs straightened. It probably wont work but at about 60 dollars its worth it just in case it does work. FGB do new discs at about 600-800 a set they just need the old carriers
