I "kinda" thought that, and in the back of my mind remembering someone actually checked?DID electric/kick compression comparison testing on an XS650 motor
With enough kicks I could get a higher reading from the kick starter.
Prolly makes sense cuz you time you leg effort to give maximum umph through the compression stroke, while the electric start has X # of watts of power and it's applied equally through all 4 strokes, it's lowest speed will be at the end of the compression stroke.
Glad it was you Gary.
