Compression gauge adapter

Post by amstel78 »

What size adapter is required for a 1991 KDX200 compression check? 10, 12, 14, or 18mm? I'm assuming it's either 10 or 12mm but can't be sure until I get home and the service manual doesn't state size.

LOL! Back in 1996 when I was stationed in Baumholder, Germany, a bunch of friends and myself had leave and decided to go to Amsterdam. The nickname Amstel was officially accorded to me after a stupid dare which of course in my youth, couldn't resist undertaking. I jumped from the Magere Brug into the Amstel river on a warm Sunday afternoon and swam to the bank. I was in my Class A's, so I probably looked really ridiculous coming out of the river soaking wet. Ever since then, my squad mates referred to me as either Amstel or Amee. It just stuck after that.

As for the beer, I actually prefer XXXX from Australia. I'm Australian by birth.

Home right now is in NE Pennsylvania - Pike County to be exact.

ive been in many Dutch rivers myself but the Amstel is not one of them
(being a southern by birth i try to avoid big cities where i can alltogher and Amsterdam was no exception me being a PSV fan at heart and Amsterdam being the hometown of Ajax didnt help either )

cool story

on a side note, the only austalian beer i know is fosters but i have a hard time drinking beer named after sunglasses
