My old KTM400 had over 850 hours on it and it still ran absolutely fine that was a 4 stroke, though, it's pretty normal maintenance for those two strokes to have the piston replaced. I have a client to races extreme enduros and last time I spoke to him he was using a Husqvarna 250 2 stroke, he changes bike every couple of years of normal season racing and the engine is the least of his worries though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book says new piston and rings at 60 hours i'm on 42 hours and its 3 months old, I'm sticking to that old motto if it ain't broke don't fix it Fuck me my chainsaw does more hours than that running at full bore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a chrome bore so its just piston and rings and being a 2 stroke its half a days work but i shall fix it when its broke 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Isn't it lot to do with the piston wear. It's very light weight and a thin casting to start with so as it wears you're at risk of breaking a skirt off as it gains more play in the bore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
