Could someone please give me the proper procedure for doing a compression check on a 103 w/fuel injection?
  Thanks,Wayne

Here's how i like to do it as none of the electronics on the bike are activated.

Bike off / Alarm off
Be SURE your in neutral
Pull both spark plugs
install compresions testor in cylinder
Remove white plug (green wire) from starter solenoid
Crank engine 2-3 revolutions by jumpering the positive post on the starter to the male spade lug on starter solenoid

Repeat for other cylinder
