I recently bought a '95 900 zxi machine. Prev owner ran a comp check right before my eyes with a screw-in tester. Read 96 lbs, nearly identical on all cyl. At home I repeated the test with 2 different hand-held gauges, and got 114 lbs on one, and 119 lbs on the other... again nearly identical readings on all 3 cyl. The book value is 121 lbs new. My machine runs great... it will nearly throw you off the back on aceleration. I don't know which gauge is most accurate, but it is good if all 3 cyl read close to the same. Good luck.
