[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1415859, member: 68872"] I had a '86 YZ-125 that I would hold WOT a fair amount. Up a hill for sure. Sand wash. Power line roads. I could be ducked down, minimizing wind resistance trying to get more speed. Then I moved up to a '97 WR250 two stroke. I would definitely open it up all the way, but the only time I would hold it there was if it wasn't in the power band or if I was in a sand wash. I also melted a hole in the piston once doing that. Now I have a 2007 WR450F. It is rare that I have it WOT and I certainly don't hold it there! I belong to a club (TWMC) and we race, ride enduros and have a number of organized rides. I am slow, but some of the club members are fast. And their kids are even faster. It is not unusual to be at a race and find one of these kids at the end of a long sand wash with a blown motor. When you look for them in the results they will either be in the top 10 or DNF section. If you got the skill and the bucks, sure, hold it WOT. If you are going to do that you had better be rebuilding your top end frequently, like every 20 hours of use. If you are like me and push your rebuilds to 100 hours or so then don't be surprised when the piston melts after a relatively short WOT burst. Rod [/QUOTE]
