My old KTM400 had over 850 hours on it and it still ran absolutely fine Expand 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...

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...
