Curious how long these little predators will go. After putting a few hours on mine it, I am very pleased with it and don't see why it won't surpass 1000 or 2000 hours with good maintenance. What's the highest time predator out there?
heh yeah the build is the expensive part. once that's finished a bad engine is cheap to replace.If you rode your bike for 5 hours every day, you would accumulate 2000 hours in one year. I know most people dont ride 4 hours at a time or even ride their bikes every day. But considering the fact that a predator build is going to cost me between 4-500 bucks, 2000 hours doesnt seem that long for the money. Then again, replacing a 99cc predator costs about the same as replacing an ht, maybe its not so bad.
I think the predator will get you more than 5 years at that rate; 1 hour a day every day. You'ld be lucky to get 2 years out of the average HT.If you rode your bike for 5 hours every day, you would accumulate 2000 hours in one year.

You get the parts & I'll help you.Hey Jay, this is Matt. If I do a predator bike, what would you charge me for labor to install my engine?
