maintenance on 2 stroke mx bike

air filter, oil, top end maybe once a year, just check the manual and make sure everything is in spec

Yes, the most importaint thing is to keep the filter clean and well oiled. Top ends last fairly long, especially if you are not riding in a lot of high speed wide open type terrian. It would probably be a good idea to pull the top end apart (very easy to do) and mic eveything to see what shap its in at the end of the season. This will give you an idea of how long your top end intervals will need to be.

Otherwise its no different than any other bike, blead the brakes every year or two, service the forks every couple of seasons or more, lube the chassie bearings every season. The manual will have a maintaince interval chart. for the most part, I have found that they are overly pessimistic, but its a good place to start untill you get some experence with the bike.


good luck and enjoy that 2 stroke:)
