[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 78347, member: 20655"] So which is really cheaper to maintain? A racing Four Stroke or a racing two stroke? Any one really keep track of cost? On a per ride basis it doesn't really change much so far with me. So far what I have seen is: with my 1998 Husky WR360 per LONG weekend ride: 10 gallons fuel + Bel Ray pre mix+ trans Oil + bit of filter oil. Vs. my 2001 VOR 8 Gallons fuel + trans Oil + bit of filter oil My four stroke gets better milage than my old Husky WR360 did. Its either that or I don't have to wail on it as much. Don't know which all I know is I am using less fue. I have NO idea about long term wear and tear on clutches and chain, etc. I DO know my four stroke is eating the rear tire alive. Does this indicate chains will die fast as well? But my Two stroke used to eat front tires fast....think this may be a wash. I don't fan the clutch on the four stroke. Did on the two stroke but it never wore out in the two years I had it. I freshened up the top end on the Husky..preventive..it didn't need it at all. Of course I didn't know that until it was all apart. Actually the only thing I had to replace more often than I expected was fork seals on the Husky. Every three month's they were beat. So....has any one really done the math? So far its too close to call for me as I anticipate cheaper operating cost on the four stroke but that to be offset by higher replacement/rebuild costs when the time comes to do a crank or a top end.
