Default CR Necessary?

Using the formula on the BadBoyz site, I figured out I have a Cold Cranking Compression of 192.3 on my 96ci SG and 9.27 static compression.

Yes or No on compression release(s)????

If it don't turn over, you might need CR's

If directions to your house include, turn left at the red barn, and a gravel road, you might be a redneck.

There really isn't a rule..... if you have a massive starter, and it turns over and fires, you don't need them. If you hit the starter and it goes thunk, hesitates and then goes thunk again, then you might need CR's.

Back in the day you judged someones manhood if they could kick start a stroker, without getting hurt

At the t in the road there is a new red barn house/shop that got built last year, you do turn left and the road isn't gravel but the drive way is lol.

Anyways yea kinda what I figured starting to really think I am going to have to get some.

Not gonna lie you older/old school guys that rode stuff like that are way tougher than me. I knew I was skipping all the BS and going right for a nice bike with a fairing, radio and other comfort items when I got mine. No clue how yall did it back then

if you have the heads off, and your worried have manuals drilled in. pretty cheap compared to taking the bike back apart and doing it all over again.
