YZ85 top ends

[alcherny08]

Hey! I am a new to the forums and was thinking about a YZ85 as a play bike. I know I will be a little large for one at 5' 9'' and 175 lbs. My main ride is an XR440, but I am looking for something I can put aroun on.

The only thing that is concerning me is how long the top ends will last. If I will be putting new piston/rings in it after every ride or with proper maintenance will it last the year on a set of rings. I ride about 20 hours a month, btw.

Any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks!

YZs are not made to "putt around on". The 85 is a full on race bike. Your best bet would be to look at the small XR 4 stroke line.
