[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 913718, member: 17060"] Valve checks take less than 5 minutes. When they go out of range, you remove the cams and change the shims...20 minutes. The advice I got from Rich Rohich (for a Yamaha 250) was when I need a .170 shim to keep the valves within range, it's time for a valve job. I will follow that as gospel. As Jmic’s said, keep it off the rev limiter, change the air filter and oil often (just like on a two stroke) and there is no reason to expect that the engine will be some kind of time bomb. I use a stainless steal oil filter and clean the oil filter every-other oil change. The bottom line is this, if you like the bike, you’ll do what it takes to maintain it. I really liked my KX125, but I have greater confidence on the YZ250F. That confidence is worth the extra maintenance. [/QUOTE]
