[QUOTE="yamaracer747, post: 151605, member: 24583"] If you do not plan on replacing your top end that frequently, you should do the most you can to keep your bike running good. If you clean your filter and change the oil in your bike frequently, this will help things last a little longer. I dont know how you are on bike maintence, but I would recomend trying to change your filter everyday after you ride ( or maybe every other day seeing as how you said you ride for only an hour). I would also recomend changing your oil 2-3 times a week. You could set up a schedule to change it after your weekend ride, sometime in the middle of the week, and then again before your weekend ride. It is very importand though that you at least change it 1 a week, and I mean at the very least. Another thing you can do to prolong changing a top end is to change the rings on the piston every 2 weeks, and then do the whole top end during the next two weeks. Or if you want ( im not sure if this one would be ok, maybe someone else can confirm this for me) you could do two ring changes before you actually did your top end. That would mean that you change the rings, than change them again 2 weeks later, and then 2 or 3 weeks later do the whole top end. Let my clarify that not everyone changes there topends all the time, so dont feel like an idiot if you dont. However, you do lose power, and it is a good idea to at least replace the top end a couple times a year. BTW evertime you change the rings, use new gaskets. [/QUOTE]
