I change the gearbox, engine oil and filter on my 450 every 5 hours and take it back to the shop every 15 hours. Honda sent out an amendment to the owners manual recommending that the oil and filter should be changed every 7 hours under race conditions. I learned to ride on a 2 stroke and still enjoy riding them but the ones I've owned take a lot more effort to ride then the 4 stroke 450 I own now. It really comes down to what type of riding you expect to be doing, where and how often and whether or not that offsets the downside of more regular servicing of a 4 stroke compared to a 2 stroke.

I am through with racing and it sounds like 4strokes are maintenance headaches?! So, with that being said… should i just pick up a new 2009 YZ250 for riding?
