very little compression

Banshee sho motor seems to have no compression. I can turn the crank by hand very easily. Yes the spark plug is in! There also seems to be a bit of a clunk near top dead center. Is this a sign of a bad big end or crank bearing? Would that also explain the loss of compression?
my mates blata rep has more compression..

hmm thats abit weird the bike still starts but u have no compression this could be a possability the piston has melted (on top) ran down the side and stuck your ring into the piston ive seen this a few times on my bikes and on my jetski or your ring could have popped out (as carter said) and squashed into the piston as for the clonking noise could be anything maybe a ring stuck on top of the piston hitting the head? what ever is wrong with it dont start or ride the bike strip it and have a look i say your top end is rat shit

the ring, piston and crank look perfect..
does the banshee 49cc have less compression compared with a blata rep 39cc?
what should the squish be set at?
thanks spidey

Is your spark plug tight?
