	Pop the heads off and look at the cylinders and if you see any major scratches or if you hear any bearing noise, it's time for a rebuild. Other than that the crank seals would be my only concern due to age. I also use AMSoil and have not had any issues with it. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Funny the wide range of opinions and responses to this question, the poor guy is probably holding a wrench in one hand and his key in the other wondering what to do. 98 XCR 440 / Woodys / Hot Seat Performance / Shock Pros / Cobra / Sportech / Fox / TEAM / Camoplast Ice Ripper Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I did the rebuilt on my '00 with about the same mileages as you have with yours. There are others with good opinions and I wont tell u what you should do and shouldnt do - based on my experience, the first time I bought my sled used, it ran good but it felt a "little" slow. When I did the rebuild 2 yrs ago with all new SPI pistons and rings - wow, Id tell ya, the sled roared to life, stronger and faster than when I first got it. For about less than 200 bucks, it was well spent. WL. My neighbor used to say, " The speed that thrills, the speed that kills " Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Make sure you retorque after the first ride. Quote originally posted by jasonmc98 Thanks Guy's. I'm going to take the heads off and take a peak.
