Default Leakdown Test

Well, after about 30K miles of "enjoyable" riding, probably 10 2-up and a few dyno pulls my 103 Headquarters motor is at 11% on the leakdown test...the techs say this is good...I know crotch rockets are good at around <5%; what do any techs here say?

I'm no longer a tech but when I was (20 years ago) I seem to remember 10% being an acceptable #.

Thanks for the re-assuring responses; guess I'll leave it alone for the upcoming season and pencil in the 113 re-build possibly for next winter...always nice to get a second opinion, even if the first was a good one.
