Those are pretty good numbers IMO considering new was 175. <--- I believe that's what you said new was???

If you have to pull the head to fix the leak and notice alot of wear on the cylinder walls that would be one thing,but you don't have bad numbers. I checked to compression on my silver bike the other day and it was only reading 125. Way less than yours and I think it runs great. It's runs better than alot of people say it should.

And if the valves aren't split or burnt you can just lap them for almost free. HF sells some kits real cheap.Like $20 IIRC.
