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.

make sure to hold your throttle open when your cranking it, it makes a huge difference

no not bad kawasaki motors run lower like that idk why but they do as long as the numbers are about 85 pounds or more on a kawasaki jetski motor and are not more than 10 to 15 pounds off from each cylinder your good...
