Post S2 Cylinder Compression

Could someone tell me the compression (off the gauge) for a 91 S2.
I hooked the gauge up yesterday and this is what I can up with; 210, 208, 214, 210.
As always thanks for the help.

I get 195 across the board on my 89 with 140,000 miles, and that is within spec. Your numbers are definately within spec if that is what you were wondering.

I don't understand +195 psi compression. The S2 has a 10.9 compression ratio. I thought that the spec reading was taken by multiplying 1 atm (14.7psi at sea level) by the compression ratio. So 10.9 x 14.7psi = 160.2psi. Do I have the calculation wrong ?? --Roy--
