hi, i am wanting to ridee from my hometown to somewhere 16 miles away. i am currently riring a 50cc, can i hold it out at top revs for thie distance safely or will it wreck its engine?
thanks!

I don't hold it at top revs for longer than 5 mins. A 16 mile ride should be about 45 mins on a 50, but assuming there's plenty junctions on your route, you should be fine. I did it all the way to liverpool about 15 miles away.

I've done a 45 mile trip on a 50 full throttle all the way, then 45 miles back. (cost me £4.50 in fuel Laughing

) 16 miles is what a one-way trip to school was for me Shocked

It'll be fine.

i did a 50 odd mile journey at full revs on mine, didnt cause any problems but my bike was running lean so i had to rebuild my engine about 3 weeks later

is it a geared 50 or a twist n go

I'd done about 20 miles, rarely letting off on my 50, does no harm, thats the only way you can ride 50s.

Warm it up properly first.

Every now and again drop the revs for a while.

FULLY SYNTHETIC
Motorcycle oil

im sure 2t's are meant to be run on semi synthetic oil not fully synthetic? thats what i run my ped on and i use castrol scoot-r oil

code guru · Brolly Dolly Joined: 25 Jan 2006 Karma :

u cant run it on semi or fully, fully is better but u should use fuly when u tune your bike but semi is fine for a std bike

i didnt go anywhere on my moped without my wrist acheing from caning it all the time, might be why its fuc'ed now though.

Stop every so often for a minute or two to give it a rest. My scooter did plenty of 14 mile trips in one go, 35mph screaming.

All went well until the big end decided to go, which resulted in me finding my foot in the side of the scooter before long.
