[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1472792, member: 16241"] For years people have treated the manufacturer's service interval charts like they were a scam to sell more parts. Two-stroke engines were invariably hammered on till they broke and then people changed parts. Smart racers followed a hour based schedule for changing critical parts but most didn't. When two-strokes suffered "energetic disassembly" (to quote Mike Perry R&D Chief at KIbblewhite Racing) the broke less expensive parts but they still broke with a flourish. Many of those same people applied a similar approach to modern high-speed four-strokes, with less than desirable results. Given proper scheduled maintenance modern engines are remarkably reliable and affordable for the average weekend rider/racer. No question that serious racers who put tons of hours on the engine will find modern 4Tsmore expensive to maintain, but that's the price of being competitive if you aspire to something other than casual racing.
