Kawasaki Engine:
Motorcycle Pressure Gauge (direct to cylinder) 140 - 150
Standard Pressure Gauge (rubber hose type) 120 - 130
Suzuki Engine:
Motorcycle Pressure Gauge (direct to cylinder) 145 - 155
Standard Pressure Gauge (rubber hose type) 125 - 135
These engines will typically run with approximate 95psi or more, but not very well.
When you check the pressure: 1) install the gauge; 2) hold throttle wide open; 3) pull starter quickly 3 to 5 times; 4) check gauge.
I hope this helps you out.
