I'm not saying without a rebuild. 10k, max, on a little bike, without a rebuild. 30k before the thing gets really old, and you should just get rid of it.

considering that the service manual goes up to 7500, I'm guessing you can get at least that much out of it, if not a little more before a rebuild, and than that much again. Depending on how much servicing of various parts you're willing to do, she should theoretically run on a certain number of engine rebuilds until the frame and/or body falls apart, but even then you can buy replacement parts if you're in love with the thing.
Milage depends on care with these. I've seen them dead with less than 1000.
New rings every 3K-4K miles, good oil, should get a ton of miles from these.

Well, 100 hrs = 3000 miles at 30 MPH? Sounds about right. You'd want to take a serious look at the rings at 3000 miles. Maddog (or others with high-milage scoots?)Nighttrain ex wrote:I've heard that the big bore kits only last for something like 100hrs...is there any truth to this? Thanks
That doesn't mean you need a new kit, just rings... assuming you can get them and they're less expensive than the kit.
