[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1206065, member: 16241"] At 100 hours ANY modern race engine (2T or 4T) is clapped out. Just because some maintenance impaired goofball you know hasn't blown it to pieces doesn't make it a FACT that you can run it for 100 hours. You are arguing with a guy who is clearly mis-informed about..... well..... everything. Posting nonsense pseudo-facts in response to him just drags you down to his level, and frankly makes my head hurt. ;) Single compression ring four-strokes that are RACED hard start losing measurable power at around 8-10 hours. Depending on the port layout and the piston design two-strokes under the same conditions will do the same. Some of the 125s need rings at the 5 hour mark. Just because people decide to live with the power loss doesn't mean it's not happening, and parts aren't worn out. People seem to think a part is not worn out until it exits the engine through some spectacular energetic disassembly event. ALL RACE BIKES WEAR OUT. ALL HIGH SPECIFIC OUTPUT ENGINES RIDDEN BY RACERS WEAR OUT FAST. Most riders can't even get their jetting within sniffing distance of correct, so expecting them to "feel" when their engines are worn out is laughable. Given how few hour meters I actually see in regular use, it's obvious to me that most riders have no idea how many hours they have on their engines. That is until they blow a hole in the cases, then they'll recite chapter and verse about their stellar maintenance practices, and quote you an EXACT number on hours even though they have never seen an hour meter let alone used one. Two-stroke or four you can't change metallurgy and physics. They put service intervals in the manual for a reason. [/QUOTE]
