Default Banshee, When to rebuild top end???

How do you know when it is time to rebuild your top end. Bought a 2000 banshee and i am new to two strokers! Also, i am not sure how a new banshee feels!

Thanks

Compression is a good idea to go by. You dont want it to low and you dont want it varying more than i think 5-10% from one side to the other. Once it falls below 100 lbs or so I would think about rebuilding.

What jennifer said.

Also, if your Banshee has a hard time starting(having to kick it ,and kick it),and doesn't want to idle to good, These are both a good indication of LOW compression.

Yep the compression is definatly a sign of rebuilding time, mine would not fire on one side and my foots weight could drop the kick lever, so i got it bored up .20 over.happens about every 5 years.
