Now that my bike is well broken in, I want to do a compression check and disable the compression releases. Where is the plug to do that?

Why? What would be the advantage? Aren't most people adding CR's?

I only want to disable them for doing a compression test. With them enabled, it's like having a leak. I want everything sealed off in order to get a good test.

It is wire #15 in your ECM plug - I believe it is purple...  Not sure about the color, but it is wire #15.  Release the wire by pushing the detent and fold it back and plug your ecm back in - your compression releases will be disabled.  Re insert the wire after your test and you are back in business.

Thanks Scot. Any chance of finding a plug near the intake manifold so I don't have to unwire the PC and associated pieces under the cover?

Unplug the  green wire at the starter solenoid and just power the starter up from there.


Done.

That's too easy.

Thanks

I posted on this subject about a week ago (compression check eye-opener).  The compression release plugs are behind the throttle body above the intake manifold.  A bit hard to get to though.

If you will, post your results with and without the releases.  Also, I acidentally posted this to to my other post, sorry.

It was your post that got me thinking that I had never run a compression check on the motor.

It will be interesting to see if others have the same high compression that I do.
