Yeah, it is. I'll get over it but man, does this suck. I sold my perfectly good running Magna so I could pay off a credit card, then scraped money together to get this Suzuki, and now it won't run at all. I've ridden this bike twice in the past 6 weeks or so for a total of about 40 miles.

to answer the question Marty......only while .....

I'd be surprised if it had bad compression at 4,000 miles.

Who only knows what can be wrong in there, its an older bike to is it not?

Yeah, it's a '91.

Lord help me if the compression is shot. I think I'll explode if I find out it has bad compression.

surely someone you know, work with etc. has one you can borrow.
Any regular compression tester will work.
The one I use i actually bought at NAPA.

I'll probably stop in at Napa tomorrow just to be safe.

By the time I'm done spending money on this bike I'll have spent enough to have bought a friggin' KLR 650!
