Right now im riding a 00 cr250. My next bike will most likely be a crf 450, ive heard alot of good things about them, and ive talked to people who have a yz450 and cr450, and they reccomend the crf. But my whole deal is rebuilding these darn things. My buddy bought a 01 426, he was always being cocky about me working on my bike and him doing nothing to it. Wasnt much longer that his bike took a crap on him and quit running. Took it to the dealer because they suck to work on, he got a new piston, an overall rebuild, and the bill was over a 1000 bucks. This bike is only 3 years old. On my 2 stroke i could rebuild it over five times, and tear apart the cases and replace the entire crank for this price. And i can do most of the work. When we race we are dead even, front wheels within a foot the entire time. I am geared slightly lower, but i dont need to go 90 mph. Also, when these bikes get to be 10 years old, and only worth 1000 bucks or so, people will buy them, the motor will quit running right, and they will have to spend a grand on the motor when the bike is only worth that.
How many of you 4 stroke owners have rebuilt your bike?
how many hours do think it had on it?
How much was it to fix?
What went wrong with it?
Is a 4stroke the answer?
Thanks for your thoughts
