ok, I also found this...

"Verify that you are on the compression stroke of the front cylinder by pacing your finger over the front spark plug hole and have someone rotate the rear wheel until you get a rush of air out of the spark plug hole. This step might not be necessary, but this way I knew I was on the compression stroke with both valves closed"
