Message: [QUOTE="Someone, post: 822047, member: 22237"] I have a 2001 YZ 250. I ran the stock top-end until last winter, so I rode it 3 years on the stock top end. When I had the top end replaced and everything checked, the mechanic said it was still within specs, but was getting close to needing replaced. When I got the new top-end, I really didn't notice any more power or performance. But peace of mind is priceless. I do my brakes pads and brake fluid 2-3 times a year. I let the air out of the forks, check, lube, adjust the chain, check tire pressure before each ride. I change oil, clean out airbox, and clean air filter after every other ride. About once a month I go over critical bolts/nuts and make sure they're still tight. [/QUOTE]
