I have 120psi of compression how low can It go before a rebuild. Thank you

I know there's no way around it I was told to post on here to see how low my compression can go before I rebuild I don't want to rebuild if I don't have to.

Sorry my first post sounded rude and wasnt tryna be at all.. This is how you learn so ask away k. Also who is tinkering ith this bike? You? Somebody older helping you? Just curious cause some of this tips us guys are helping you with is somewhat difficult and takes practice to get correct. Like i said its all learning and practice but a helping hand would be nice for some guidance for ya. If not post some more!! Lol

Go ahead and rebuild it.  You'll be happy you did.  Wallet might not, but chances are you'll find more things wrong with it.  Once you get these bikes lined out they absolutely scream and are just as reliable as any new 4-poke.

Compression is not an accurate method of determining the condition of a TWO STROKE ENGINE.

Measuring compression only gives an indication of how well the rings are sealing and does not tell you how loose the piston is..

A loose piston will break and turn your engine into junk where worn rings will not usually damage the engine but just cause the power to be a little weaker. 

When a piston skirt brakes off as a result of getting loose & gets wedged between the crankshaft & the bottom half of the cases, something gives. Usually it's the cases. Then you will find out what an expensive repair is. If you have any doubt in the back of your mind as to the condition of your top end, fix it now.

It's either wishful thinking or looking for confirmation as he's never had a tired 2 stroke go suddenly quiet and lock up the rear wheels. We have all been there once or have seen someone else grenade and learned that way. I always expect to have to go into the engine even if the seller says "I just rebuilt it", you can guess why. Lee

This is exactly what I did with my LT and my previous quad Pat... That is def the way to go. Nothing funner than building a bike from the ground up when its not the ideal time to ride. I also enjoy this guys enthusiasm.... as long as he sticks with the oldschool suzuki that is.

Problem for me is its very near ideal time to ride and I still need a few things... Hardest thing to find being the A Arms I need... Im still kicking myself for not Grabbing the A Arms that Heminutt sold you. Grats on that though.

Tear it down now man. All of these older riders are correct. A new gasket kit, piston and rings might be $160. If you want to really do it right find a good machine shop and have it bored to mach the new piston and ring. Then you will have all new surfaces. When I was a kid I blew up a couple bike riding them with low compression. I more than doubles the price if you were to just do it right the first time. A two stroke can run on low compression but its far from made to. It puts stress on everything and if something lets go up top it will probably wipe out anything good you have in the bottom.
