|  ^^^^^^^^^ 90psi is not much at all and I suspect the bike must be very hard to start if at all. Definitely time for a rebuild assuming you have done the compression test correctly and hence have an accurate reading. |

| Put a little oil in the cylinder and rotat the engine a few times then redo the compression test again, if the rings are worn you should get a slightly higher reading with some oil in the cylinder.
