Hi guys.
My 600 has about 1800 miles on it and i am wondering if it is time for rings yet? I know it depends a lot on the way the sled was run, and i would say this sled was never run hard. It led a pretty easy life. My grandfather bought it new for his daughters (My mother being one of them) and it was used mostly to bring the cows up to the barn at milking time. Thanks for the input.
P.S. It has about 150 psi compression on both sides.
Thanks,
DE

With 150 in each side I would leave the motor alone. That's a very good number, just my opinion.
