Only Slightly FUBARed

Well, the idea is that if you can get the compression to come up by adding oil, then the rings need to be replaced. If you don't get any bump in compression then there's something effed with the piston or something.
Not sure about the hole you are talking about, not near my bike, check the service manual?

I don't know what I did besides check timing(didn't adjust anything since it was spot on), refilled the tensioner with oil but the bike started up after a few tries. There's still crankcase pressure so I left the dipstick off. Could the oil I previously put in for the ring/compression test actually seal it long enough for the bike to run temporarily? p.s. oh I also changed the ignition rotor back to the stock one if that makes a difference. Hershey's right though..it can only go on one way.

No, the oil in the cylinders isn't going to get it to run. But I'm guessing since you've got pretty good compression in two cylinders and enough pressure in another to actually get it to run it doesn't surprise me, in spite of the fact you've got zero compression on one cylinder.
I'm sure it can't sound all that good and probably doesn't have any power, but at least you've got something other than a pile of metal!

RE: FUBARed no more.
I think i'm going in the right direction...the rings might not be bad after all. I was reading a article on blowby and the author mentioned checking the PCV vent hole before considering a overhaul...well I figured it was a possibility that the vent hole could be clogged but was leaning towards rings or valves guides..always ready for the worse..turns out the hole was clogged..BADLY clogged..Now all I have to do is get this thing started again and hope that I didn't blow out and seals while testing and diagnosing it all those times.
