First of all "several" GY6 engines is a basis for "all"? Your experience with GY6 engines must be limited because there are quite a few tuned to be drag limited way before hitting 8000 rpm's at top speed. This can also be considered a way to mechanically limit the GY6 engine to a safe speed, just like lawn mowers and weed-trimmers. Your argument that WOT is bad for a GY6 engine is based on the incorrect assumption that all of them will approach or exceed 8000 rpm's running flat out (there are quite a few Taiwanese or Japanese 50cc GY6 based scooters that can and do exceed 9000 rpm's regularly without engine damage). In some of your previous posts this was including "all engines" which is even more incorrect. There is some validity to your idea that WOT can be bad. My point being that this cannot be generalized and applied to every type of engine (including a GY6). Someone with your experience should know this. For the record I just want to make it clear there are plenty of scooters that can be pushed at WOT without automatically assuming eminent engine damage. |
