Factory carbiides

[new4stroker]

How many km are people getting our of the factory carbides. Now I know this has some bearing on how many highways you cross but just wondering when I should think about replacement.

I only got 500 miles on stock carbides on my apex, upgrade to slim Jim Dooley or another option. I didn't even waste my time on the vector and upgraded when it was new!

 

[Ronder]

About 500 miles on a 12 vector

Okay. Time to check it guess. I have 1900 km but still have good bite (no cornering issues). But I will take a peak.

I didn't even get 250 miles...............

Factory carbides are junk.Run sharper bars and you will get carbides that last for 1000,s of miles.

I'm also in the 250 mile range myself. I went with the Bergstrom Triples & never looked back, talk about a quality product. For my sled & riding they're the perfect carbide.

Carbides

After my first couple new Yamahas I decided not to even try them. Pull them off new now and install good ones.

Never tried them............. Put duece bars on both machines and never looked back...... almost 10,000 miles and changed them once each....... Still good. MM.
