 **Results** The difference between the two readings should not be more than 10%. A low reading on either cylinder indicates a possible valve or piston ring issue. To determine which, pour about 1/2 teaspoon of oil into that cylinder through the spark plug hole. Then repeat the compression test. If the reading returns to normal the rings may be defective. If the compression does not increase to within 10% then the valves of that cylinder may require service. **Results** The difference between the two readings should not be more than 10%.

 +Take note:\\
 +Since the 2009 model year, the 883 cylinder construction changed dramatically and you can no longer bore them to 1200 at all.((aswracing comment at http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1569673))

 If you put an 88-03 style piston into an 04+ bike, the skirt on the side will smack into the oil squirter and break it off. \\ If you put an 88-03 style piston into an 04+ bike, the skirt on the side will smack into the oil squirter and break it off. \\
