I have a friend who had a husky WR 250 2 stroke and he did 16,000 miles including road work to work on one topend I wouldnt advise this at all and this is an extreme case, but I certainly belive that the servicing intervals are somewhat made to get you renewing parts...... I met Mick Extance the british Dakar rider for honda, after he had entered the first year on the Honda CRF 450, I asked him what they had done to the engine as I was somewhat suprised the CRF held together, he said that he did 9,000 miles on the CRF without changing the oil to see what parts would fail first He also said that the valves were changed from titanium to standard steel ones, I forget why now but 9,000 miles of enduro without changing the oil is a lot for one of these rumoured fragile engines Its not me in the pic but I took it a few years ago when I met him at a show...... Remember these....... Link to post Share on other sites
fazza123 516 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 That Honda is mint,my dad would go mad for that! He keeps trying to get me to race his Maico 490 Good in there day but that days gone for me! Good thing about 2 strokes is if they do go wrong its usually easy to fix,just piston and rings most of the time but 4 strokes are a bit harder! And yes Knighter is the man, had a good chat with him at the tough one i was buzzing!! Do you think the mods would get a motorbike section on here lol... Link to post Share on other sites
