\nAnd these are people who change their oil every 2-4 hours, and clean their air filter EVERY ride.
\n
\nYou are \'lucky\' to get 200 hours out of a motor, very lucky. People tend to get 30-60 hours out of a set of valves, and 100-120 out of a crank.
\n
\nOf course, these are racers, who are pushing their bikes a lot harder then a stunt rider generally.. Trail riders who ride casually will get a LOT more hours out of them.
\n
\nI\'d "LOVE" to have a modern 4 stroke race bike for trail riding, but I couldn\'t afford it. I\'ll easily put 20-30 hours+ on a bike in a month. Sometimes putting 10-15 in a single week. (Actual run time with an hour meter, not \'assumed\' time)
\nI can\'t afford replacing valves every 2-3 months.
\nI\'m awnting to pick up a used cr or yz250 here before long and build it to be a woods bike.\r\n
