    2009 250 pro xs

    Looking at purchasing a used 2009 250 pro xs motor…. Compression is as follows
    1- 119
    2- 126
    3-125
    4- 128
    5-127
    6-126

    hours are 600 hours with 186 @ 0-599 and 190 @600-1499.

    would you be concerned with 276 hours below 1500 rpm?

    15 hours 4500-4999
    14 hours 5000-5699
    1 hour. 5700 +

    a cylinder leak down test was performed with very good results

    While it would be preferably to not have all that low RPM time, if there are no other negative indicators, it may be an engine to consider.

    I would definitely plan to do a good decarb of the engine, and get it on the Cocktail.
