First off, I freakin' love your bike! that thing looks absolutely mint.

Good compression should be anywhere between 120-150 psi. you may be looking at problems if you're under 100 psi.

Take care of that bike, and Welcome to the forums!

Your compression is really nice and even all the way across. So as long as you have good power and don't use a bunch of oil, leave it alone.
