Hello, My Sxr was run with a float valve stuck shut on my last trip for 15 miles. Middle cylinder. Long story short fixed it. Ran it 200 miles on that trip. Runs perfect. I did a cold compression test when I got home. PTO 124 Middle 109 MAG 120. Ugh... Motor has 1500 original miles on it. My question is would you take this sled on a sledding trip? Supposed to leave for a 3 day ride. Thanks!

It's fine. Sleds have run for a long time on a larger PSI swing.
Put camera through exhaust manifold. Took off reeds. Piston is scuffed... Ouch! Stuck needle valve=Big problem

In that <two hours of work, you have your answer.
Can someone direct me on piston and ring replacement on a 600 redhead triple? Torque specs and what gaskets I can reuse or have to replace. I looked in the tech section and didn't see anything. I just have to do the middle cylinder. Thank you!
