Just redid this test.  compared my gauge to my air compressor.  90 on the compressor was 80 on the gauge.  1-85
2-92
3-75
4-72

The bike runs and is ok to drive, starts easy, plugs look normal, but the bike just seems slow.  Engine loses pull at around 5K rpms.

BAsed on what I have read these numbers are way low and probably dumbfound alot of you that it runs.  

What do you think?  Head gasket?  Rings?  Valves? or all of the above.
