[QUOTE="DualSportr, post: 128422, member: 19592"] Basically, the WR will require the same maintenance schedule as your two stroke. Meaning that if you race every weekend, you'll be tearing into the top end pretty frequently to replace the piston/rings and maybe timing chain. For general trail riding use, we all know of people who've been riding a CR or YZ for years without a top end rebuild and the thing's as good as new. It will be the same for a four stroke (more so the XR that the WR). Use a good quality oil and change it frequently -- like after every weekend of riding -- this is the best insurance you can buy. Other than that, regular checks are about the same as the two stroke. The only thing that's difficult is adjusting the valves, just because you've got to have a bunch of shims. Check with dealers around town to see what they charge to do this. With regular trail riding, I'd have them checked first after about 20 hours (normally they don't need shimming, but it's good to check), and then every year after that - unless you're really hard on bikes!
