ckf Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 A buddy of mine is looking at a used Renegade 600 e-tech with 4K on it. When should the top end be rebuilt? @Angry ginger how many miles did you have on yours before trading? BTW, it's Skippy looking to get back in to the sport.

Angry ginger Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 id run a 600 etech to 10k miles without thinking twice, guessing my 09 had 6-7k on it when i sold it. didn't think twice about the one i bought for james going over 4k miles on our canada trip last winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him I thought they would go 10K without any issues. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I sold mine with 6k on it and it ran better than when it was new. Easy to start, easy on gas, great motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Well, 600etec is pretty solid but Capt. Obvious tells me it's not just the miles but it's how it was ridden. I'm of the thinking that once any 2-stroke gets to around 6K...time for a real good exam or really, new slugs anyway. Dirty zooks I'd still replace at 8k-ish no matter what. What I'd worry about more with the etecs is the crank run-out. Mine was within a couple of hairs of being out of spec at close to 5k miles. These things run dry especially in the earlier models. Somebody getting 10 or 20k out of a two stroke? Sure. Granny Hawkins that rides it to church and back every Sunday. Something is almost guaranteed to fail on them no matter what. My stator blew out at just over 5k miles and I sold the whole sled for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Angry ginger had around 10K on his. Another buddy had 13K on his. A lot of the guys that had trouble had backed the oil injection off because the were pigs on oil. We left ours alone and spent a few more $$$ a year on oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Fact is....if you ride a 600 and your buds all ride 800s and up you will be rebuilding it at a normal 5k mile interval. When you have to ride the fucking thing rung out 100% of the time just to stay near the back of the pack it ain't gonna live long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
