[QUOTE="Pantaz, post: 506699, member: 27060"] Service intervals from Honda's factory service manual, 1996-1999 XR400R: 1996-1997 "Regular Maintenance Interval = Every 30 operating days--about 1000 miles" 1997 and newer "Regular Maintenance Interval = 6 months or 600 miles (1000km)" This includes valve clearance check/adjust; oil & filter change; brake pads; steering head bearings, etc. Valve clearance inspection/adjustment is really easy on the XR -- handy threaded covers over each adjuster. Just unscrew the cover, check/adj the clearance, screw the cover back on! No oil leaks, no gaskets to mess with (the covers have o-rings.) Oil changes are a bit of a hassle due to the dry-sump system. Two separate drain plugs to remove, and the filter mounts on the side of the engine, so it drips oil on the crankcase cover if you don't put a rag underneath the filter housing. After you've done it a couple of times, it gets easier. IMHO: With the varied choices of my riding partners, I get to ride a good variety of bikes -- YZ250, RM400, XR600R, XL600, XR400R, KLX650, XR500, and a somewhat older KTM 2-stroke. For the trail riding I like to do, the XR400 is far and away the best choice. [/QUOTE]
