Thanks

Change you oil every one to two rides and keep your air filter clean and oiled. Get yourself a service manual and read up there is alot of good info in there.

yea i knew the oil change and air filter cleaning:D . i wanted to know how often everyone checks valves, compression, bearings, seals stuff like that.:devil:

Is your motor built or stock? How much compression? All of these factors come into play on how frequent you will have to check tolerances. If you have a stock motor the manual is probably a good place to start.

well im rebuilding my motor and thinking about putting a 12.5:1 comp piston in it and wanted to know how much more work i would need to do on it more often.

For my race bike:
I throw a piston in every 20 hours-JE
Rebuild shocks every 15-20 hours-PEP
I check valves every 10 and replace them every 30 or if they are stretched, whichever comes first-Kibblewhites
I throw a crank in every 30 along with bearings.-Hot Rods
When i do a crank i usually end up replacing 3rd gear and check the rest of the transmission

I change my oil every two practice days and before every race.

Clean my filter every ride.
I race Pro/am and Pro at the local races

Hope this helps.

I think it also depends on ride style and terrain say my xc race bike i check the valves begining middle and end of season i check all bearing for play or worn out parts at everytime i wash the quad witch is just about every ride, my mx bike i check valves and change piston and rings more often. because mx is alot tougher on the valve train, because of being wide open more
