Scooterotica

Hey,
I've got a GT200, 85% of my riding is in a city so pretty much constant changing of throttle. I'm curious what's the limit of the expected mileage I put can safely put on petals without fear of breaking, and then I can back off some for safety margin. If these are based on a cart, I'm guessing designed for on / off rather than constant change .

I'm looking for someone with evidence rather than opinion. Has anyone have a set break? At what mileage and riding type.

Thanks in advance
David

If you double the petals up they last a long time
I've just changed petals in my GT250 from new.. over 2 years ago, many 1000"s of miles, they hadn't broke, I just felt it was time for new ones.

Did doubling the petals change the performance or flow in any way that would impact jetting?

Thanks

Not that you will notice

Sorry for drip feeding questions. I'm in Canada so I don't have easy access to parts as I would like. Do you know if the petal has a part number that can be generically sourced from a racing parts shop?

I'm pretty certain the reed block is a generic kart part. I remember reading years back that Richard had used a kart part. I think this is the reed block and gaskets, but it may be wise to take photos and measurements and contact a kart shop in Canada.

Tx everyone. Scooter people are good people.

My petals are replaced at the same time as the piston rings, approx. 3-4k miles, even though they probably have plenty of life left in them (and keep the old as spares), but I also double up
