1000 hours challenge!!! Pre 70 degree engines!!

There is one guy in Poland, who I believe already crossed 1000mth. He rides FS650. I don't know if he made any rebuild before, probably yes.

I guess you could actually hope to reach that goal by riding the bike 5 hours a week for 4 years as an example.
That, and also changing the oil about 200 times.

Let us know how it goes.

LOL but we also need to run the same machine with a OEM oil and then tear them down and check for wear. This sounds like the 1957 Mercury Boat motor run who is up to this on their bike lol.

Very cool thread! I'll be reading and contributing as I possibly can.

One thought: Something to investigate is if there is such a thing as *too much* oil capacity. IIRC there was a classic model of Fiat or Alfa Romeo - can't find the source atm - that was considered to have too much oil capacity because it took quite long for the oil to reach operating temperature and the engine had to be babied a bit until that happened

This is very vague and anecdotal and only intended to further discussion. I make no statement that 3 liters is too much.

Have no idea about the fiat/Alfa thing, but many vehicles that have things like external oil tanks, filters, and especially oil coolers have oil thermostats to help get the oil to operating temperature, and creating a by-pass loop until the thermostat opens up.

In another note, I was wondering about the wet ignition. One hole into the transmission cavity? What circulates the oil out of the flywheel compartment and into the trans? Would the oil possibly sit fairly stagnant not helping lubricate? Creating a current/convection would usually require 2 holes and carefully placed. The flywheel in the oil would create current, but only with an in/out passage. Something to think about[emoji848]
