Update:  So I tried to start my bike again this last week end.  The compression is extremely high but the same as last time because I used the same amount of base gaskets to arrive at the recommended "X measurement."  However, I re-read the set-up instructions for the ignition which had recommended setting the initial timing  from 2-4 mm BTDC.  Last time I used 2mm and this time I used 3mm.  I have got some WICKED kick back now which resulted in this:

The lever also ripped a two inch hole in my boot! I just can not seem to get used to the left side kick start lever on this bike!  I realize the timing is too far advanced and will reset it closer to TDC for the initial timing but it will be a while before I try to start the bike again.  Man, this damn bike has been nothing but a fight since I got it and I haven't even rode it yet!!!
