My 2000 gz250 had 16k or so on it. Past 18k now...
Owner provided excellent documentation as to upkeep but when I got it home and did a
compression test I found the motor has a lot of wear. Right at 100 psi.
Fortunate for me since it wasn't running I got mine for 800 bux and had it running with some
elbow grease.
If you are not bike savvy you need a mechanic or knowledgeable biker friend to check it out.

I have a compression tester. What would a good compression be?
On a 2 cylinder or 4 cylinder, usually even across the board is good news.
But this bike being a single cylinder, I would need to know a good range it should be in.
Thanks,
