[QUOTE="sharky243, post: 1325019, member: 100273"] Only you can tell if it's the right bike for you. I see alot of riders using the 125cc 2 strokes for harescrambles, because they are light. A good rule of thumb that I always use is 20 hours on a piston max. More often depending on how hard you ride and how high of an RPM you run it at. If you are planing long distance trail rides, I sugest a good 4-stroke like a yamaha WR250F, or a Honda XR model. 4 strokes are better suited for long run times and are better on fuel. They also tend to be a bit more reliable. As far as parts, they're about the same as any other bike. One thing to keep in mind as far as what brand to get, find out what the closest dealer sells, and what the turn around time is for parts. As far as tuning goes, unless you are racing it, pretty much just set the bike up and leave it alone. You may have to re-jet for colder temperatures though on either 2 or 4 strokes. Check the burn on the plug periodicaly to monitor the jetting. [/QUOTE]
