wow! that's good to know, I started another thread asking about the life expectancy of these 80cc engines, so they must at least last that long .

I got about 400 miles out of mine but I run my bike pretty hard and work the clutch all the time.

That is hard to answer as we all ride in different ways but I would guess that you should be able to get at least a couple of years out of it. You Americans are lucky because I believe you can buy a new clutch for what we here pay for a pack of smokes. $10.00.

I'm over 600 miles and rarely pedal to get going. I'm guilty of clutching, but I run a 32T sprocket. I usually just push off and go.

I've got over 500 miles on 2 bikes. I slip the clutch while pedal assisting up to speed and have had 0 clutch issues...Kelly
