Debating on rebuilding my 98 xtc 700. Has 115 115 110 compression and I want to do the head gasket mod. Runs great as is but not sure about the mod.. If I do put new pistons and rings should I get the cylinders redone or should they be fine? Speedo stopped working long ago. Guessing it has maybe 8 or 9k miles on it

I would think the head gasket mod will bump up that compression but with that many miles I would do new rings. I am sure your plating will be fine.
