Well, my trail tech is reading about 80 hours and I've ridden a ton before I got it and have now been riding for a while without it on.. So I'm guesstimating about 120 hours on it....
It doesn't burn oil, just a bit when I first start it up. The engine is loud, but it has always been that way. Little tick in the valves but they were just adjusted maybe 10 hours back on it.
Is there anything I should do to avoid something catastrophic happening to the engine? should I replace the piston/rings even though it doesn't burn oil? Replace anything else?
How often does the coolant need to be changed?
It's also had very regular oil / filter changes and regular air filter cleaning.
I'm just a bit nervous because of all the hours.. (and honda's insane 15 hour piston/ring change recommendation)
