How do you do a compression check on a motorcycle engine?
The same as with an automobile engine. Remove 1 plug and insert compression tester (available at all automore parts stores)and follow the compression testors instructions. When doing a compression test, the throttle must be wide open for free passage of air into the engine. If the bike has CV carbs, the slides are opened by vacuum, so you will need to go into the carb with a stick or something, and lift the slide open while doing the check.

How do you disengage fuel and spark for a compression test on a 1994 civic?
pretty much only way to stop the fuel, is if you have an electric fuel pump, you can remove fuel pump fuse.but you really dont need to do this for a compression test. in performing a compression test, you need to remove spark plugs to use compression gage. before you start, remove the lead that goes from distributor to coil, and you will not have spark at the plugs you can also use a remote stater switch connected to starter motor and leave ignition turned off. the engine will still turn but no ignition will be available to start engine
