Default is 92 p.s.i. compression dangerous in a blaster??

I've have my blaster for 4 months, my compression is 92. I know i need a rebuild but is 92 ok to ride on for a lil while longer? like 50 hours or so? Or am i endangering something

If you lose anymore then that your bike will not start because the compression is too low!

It's not going to hurt it a bit.

heh, I dunno if I had a bad gauge or something, but I checked my shee and it was at 65 psi. It still runs amazing too.

Low compression wont hurt, just run 87 octane.

If thye piston breaks and drops pieces into the crank you will wish you had put the piston in...a loose piston also leads to excessive wear on your cyl...a piston kit shouldn't cost much more than $150 with gaskets and everything...it might just save you money down the road

I say fix it and sell it, or sell it right now out right. I dont want to see you post any more problems youve had with the blaster[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] in a good way
