155 is real good!. . . . . proceed!

My book says 95-150 is good.

95-150 seems to be a massive range in "acceptable".
I'm assuming this is a scale with 'wear-n-tear' in mind.
would a 95 mean "you'll need a new top-end soon"
and
a 150 mean "it's pretty fresh?"

That's the way I would interpet it...

Sounds like a good "sticky"....

Personally, I would probably do a top end when it got down around 120 but to each there own. And the wide spec is probably just a range that it will still run at?

My 89 manual says 119 - 185psi. I had about 170 immediately after my last top end.

Yeah, for some reason the H series had lower compression specs than the E's.

What is the lowest anybody has had on a "running" bike? How low can you get and still have it run?

They will continue to run for a long time...to the point that the bike is unrideable because the engine will only run in the upper 50% of it's range, and be down on power at that (of course).

I think mine was still around 155 around the time I did the topend. +6 years and thousands of miles

Not sure what mine was when i tore it down. But from a visual of the piston and cylinder, it couldn't have been much. Still ran good though, lol.
