That being said, WOT on most GY6 engines usually runs the rpm's at or near redline and the air cooled engine starts running pretty hot. I have a Taiwanese GY6 scooter that's tuned to run around 6800 rpm's at 55-60 mph and the engine temps usually run 320-340 degrees (CHT gauge). My philosophy is under 350 f and sustained rpm's under 7000 rpm's, no need to worry about speed or actual throttle position. The wife and I have been touring two up riding like this for up to 300 miles a day. Close to 5000 miles and counting. I expect to get at least 25k out of the engine. When running the scooter hard like this I make sure to change the oil every 500 miles and check the valve lash every 1500 miles (only one adjustment needed so far). I had a Yamaha C3 that was fuel injected and water-cooled, it ran WOT for nearly it's entire life. Last I heard it's still running strong. |
