So, question #1. What should the compression reading be? I get 240 on one side and 210 on the other. I would expect maybe 150 on a good motor.
#2. Is there a source for a shop manual download?
Thanks
Rich

Re: compression reading
As for a manual, click on Knowledge Base above right and go the library. Search for documents for the R60/5. I suspect you'll find something worthwhile.

Re: compression reading
Test on another motorcycle of known value. If the gauge is consistently inaccurate at least there is value in the balance of pressure readings.

But that would still put the beemr at about 190. I'm going to go to town Monday and look for a different gauge.
On another track, who do you like to do business with for parts? I prefer to give my money to the ggod guys that know what they're selling.
Thanks

If you want a hard copy, E-bay has a couple of Haynes manuals listed - B 2-valve twins '70-''96.
