[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1206113, member: 16241"] Given PROPER maintenance, the chance of a catostrophic failure for most Japanese MX four-strokes is incredibly small (RMZ/KXF 250s being the noticeable exception). PROPER maintenance is the key. Changing the oil and praying for good luck isn't enough. The real problem comes from riders who are convinced they are much smarter than the engineers who developed the engines, so they invent their own justifications for ignoring the service intervals and run parts as long as they feel is appropriate based on some half-assed theory they came up with while sitting in traffic. When they inevitably destroy an engine they blame the "technology". Put a good design in an idiot's hands and trouble will eventually find him. The only real difference between two and four stroke engines in this regard is most two-stroke engines give you a greater margin for acting like a dumbass. When you maintain an engine properly a four-stroke will cost more over the life of the bike, but not the insane difference that twits on the internet would lead you to believe. [/QUOTE]
