[QUOTE="fever5, post: 1102255, member: 72367"] I am in the process of buying a '07 CRF450R (when they're available in Canada in 2 weeks). I have ridden a XR400 '96 for the past 6 years. While by no means am I a competitive racer, I am 21 and fairly aggressive. I ride mostly on steep, rocky hills (Canadian shield). With the XR400 there was really nothing I touched except for oil change, filter at the beginning and midway through the summer. I get a local mechanic to look at the bike for the beginning and end of the season. With the CRF450R I’ve heard it is fairly high maintenance compared to the XR Looking at these forums I have learned that the CRF450R valves need to be checked every 15 hours or so, and oil and oil filter must be changed more frequently than on an XR. Just wondering for my style of riding what other things will have to be watched, how much it will typically cost per x hrs of riding to run, and how hard it is do these changes (i.e. check valves, etc) since I have little background in small motor repair. Thanks for help, and sorry for being long winded! Charlie [/QUOTE]
