[QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1380929, member: 73147"] What, you think I own Service Honda or something? The book does not lie, nor is it after my wallet. If I could afford it, HELL YES it would get a fresh top end, and new tires every 5 hours! Its because I know that about the 5 hour mark, the ring is getting close to being out of spec. The power loss may even not be perceptible, except by monitoring with a compression gauge or tearing it down. Does not change the facts. I do not brag about my dirt bike abuse in the past, fast as hell though! Running plated bores long ruins the bore, the looser than normal piston pushes the softer material behind the plating. It looks good and slap it back together. Why does it run funny? The bore is oval. The steel liner shortens the ring life more, perfect. This is catastrophic maintenance, running past rebuild times, not preventive. 4trax, the flywheel weight, imo, puts abnormal stress on the crank and bearings, premature wear is possible. And its akin to dragging a small car engine around in back of your bike. De-tune the engine by lowering the compression and/or alter the porting. Air box and pipe/silencer can achieve safely slowing the engine down also. And the maintenance schedules can run longer! Basically turn it into a KDX/XR. Vintage Bob [/QUOTE]
