Hi Garryk, the compression testers tend to be in sizes suitable for cars, the sohc bikes use smaller threads. My 500 uses 10mm but not sure about the 750, you will need to buy an extra adapter of the correct size. If it is a gunson brand they are easily available, regards Mick

Mickwinf,many thanks for your quick reply and help.
Not really sure what way the thread size works,so hoping someone with the same model will let me know,after reading your thread I checked Ebay and noticed there is some tester on there with a lot of extra adaptors,
Cheers
