I think its really kind of silly that the "decay" animation/graphics for all speeders kicks in too early. It starts when the speeder is only at about 3/4 condition. Engine(s) start to smoke, then catch fire (and backfire when called) at about 50% condition. At about 25% condition blacksmoke pours out.
Come on now. I love the animation, but it should start at around 25% condition, not 75%. Its embarrasing to pull a speeder which is still at near 50% condition out in a crowded area and have it "explode" and belch fire before you jump in it. Paying the maint. coststo keep it at near 100%is unreasonable (you can buy like two new speedersover the same time).
What I would like to see is the breakdown something like this: at 25% smoke starts, at 15% engine(s) catch fire, at 10% black smoke pours out, etc. This would be more realistic, less embarrsing, and allow us to get more out of our expensive vehicles.

I agree, also Speederbike matinience should cost less. Every day I have to repair my speeder, it's average cost is 2k. Sometimes I have to pay it twice or three times!

Wankers like you should be shot.
Anyway, on topic: yes, this should be changed, it just means I have to spend ages looking for a sodding garage everytime I have my speeder out for more than 30 minutes running missions, which is irritating. An option to completely turn off the speeder explosions altogether would be great, thanks to morons like the one above, my screen lags to buggery when theres lots of badly damaged/disabled speeders about, and I think most people are intelligent enough to click on their speeder to find out its condition.

What you really oughta do with that is hide behind a building, pull them out very sequentially - give it a good beat. And then come running out from behind the Starport screaming that some huge monster is coming.

/agree, would probably reduce some lag too
