:laugh: Really? Ever actually LOOKED at the service requirements on a current 4 stroke? Pretty much the same top end life as a 2 stroke. Oh sure you can push the limits but that's the same for either one and crank pieces through the case cost pretty much the same.inotocracy said:2 strokes generally require more maintenance, buts its cheap and easy to do. 20 hours on a piston seems kind of overkill IMO, unless you're running the bike really hard (racing conditions).

mr db said:Hello,
This is my first post on these forums and I have a few questions about 2 stroke bikes. I have a buddy who is willing to sell me his 04 yz125 for a $1000. That seems like a pretty good deal to me. He just had the engine rebuilt also. This will be my first bike. Currently I borrow a Honda crf150 when I ride with my friends. I am 5'11'', 165 lbs and will be doing trail-riding.
I hear that the yz125 is a great bike but is it the right bike for me? I am very good with 2 stroke engines. I have built many liquid pocketbike engines in the past. But I want something reliable that i dont have to worry about seizing up when i am miles away from civilization. A few questions I have are...
1.- Is this bike suited for trail riding?
2.- How often does the top end/rebuilding need to be done?
3.- Is this the kind of engine that constantly needs to be tuned?
4.- Are parts expensive?
thank you,
Robert
