Well, I have a TTR 125, 4 stroke. The bike tends to build up compression really bad to the point where I can't kick start. I read somewhere that if you take out the plug then kick start it might help. It did but, now I still have the problem of it building up the compression and being unable to kick. This makes it really hard to try and start a bike that hasn't been started for 6 months. Any GOOD advice is much appreciated.

I assume this is normal compression?
I not familiar with this bike. I had a 2-Stroke year ago and it had two Plug holes. If one plug fouled I could move the wire to the other plug and go. I really never had a fouled plug and this was a 350 and could kick back when it wanted. So, what I did was use the second spark plug hole and screwed in a Compression Release. It had a miniature lever that mounted on the handle bars. Not only did it make it easy to start, it would work like a "Jake Brake" on a Big Truck to stop or slow down.
This just a thought as I not sure you have a second spark plug hole.
