[HR][/HR] The Grom has less than 200 miles on the odm and this morning I decided to check the compression since the my adapters for my compression tester came in and I did not have a small 10 mm spark plug adapter.

I checked the compression with both of my testers and I got between 100-105 psi with a stone cold engine with no warm up.

setting up the test with my old tester


second tester reading 100-105psi


testing heat on the exhaust, heads and cylinder, warmed up the engine a bit

head temp around 160-171 deg F


cylinder temp 160-180 deg F WOT




exhaust temp taken from the pipe leaving the head 311-337 deg F WOT

Guys,
Don't panic about the compression. It's about 160 PSI stock. The Grom has a ACR,(automatic compression release) on the exhaust rocker. Spinning the engine activates the weight on the cam and opens the exhaust valve just slightly. I don't know why they don't mention it in the shop manual. Using an intake rocker on the exhaust fix's the issue, and you get 160 PSI. It's there for starting.

I wonder if that's the reason why the exhaust has a different sound during cold start and once it's built up some heat, the exhaust sound changes?
