[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1220890, member: 77507"] You should look for a less performance oriented bike. These bikes push the limits of the materials they use. They turn 13,000+ rpms. In 7 hours the rings have wiped the cylinder 5,460,000 times. The piston has been subjected to the same amount of explosions. Have you ever held a 125 piston? They are small and light. If you think about the cicrumstances, 7 hours is a long time. Do I change my piston every 7.5 hours like my manual says, no. I go closer to 30 or 40, but rings every 15 or 20. I also change my oil every other ride or 6 to 8 hours, and clean the air filter every ride. Bikes like the xr's and alike use much heavier pistons that can be used a long time. If you don't want the maintenance, or can't afford it, you would be better off swapping to a bike of that nature. [/QUOTE]
