Some people put 40 hours on a bike and then sell to buy a new one to do all over again. Some will put 300-400 hours and then finally retire it as a back up bike and pick up a new one. Which one are you?
My 125 has about 160 hours on the frame and 20 on a fresh top to bottom end, my 150 was about the same before I tore it down.

My new 21 KX450XC has almost 20.

Kx250f 2018: 75 Hours
yz250 2004 : 45 Hours since total makeover.
The plan was to trade it in for a SX 250 this winter but i just broke my collarbone and 3 vertebrae while riding downhill so i don't know what i'm going to do yet. Should be a 4 months stop. Damn.
It’s had a few rebuilds
Do you notice any difference since it was new?
Like it didn't lost rigidity?
my 2006 KX250 has had two pistons in it with about 20 hrs per piston so appx 60 hours total including the OEM piston. Since I started riding the 450 again I will do a top end in it soon, the bottom end is still good with no noticeable movement in the bottom end bearings or at the flywheel so will go another piston before doing the crank and bearings!
I love my 2016s. I’ve worked out their kinks and I have the bikes set up perfect for me. It took some time to get them there but I can look at a bump or rut and know exactly how the bike will handle it now. I broke one down to refresh everything in the engine and chassis and am going to finish that one up, get it running, then break the other one down to refresh everything.
They’ve got some age on them but I still think they are a great looking bike. Just got graphics done on the main rider last week.
Pit Row
18 kx 450 sold it with 38 hrs
20 kx 450 currenlty has 38.5
still have my 08 crf 450 155 hrs
The rest of the bike is a barely-rolling roach, but the motor is solid.
EDIT: I say "at least 100" hours, but it could be as many as 200-300. I seriously don't have a clue.
75hs everything stock
- changed cam chain at 45hrs
- motor oil and filter every 6hrs (Castrol synthetic)
- suspension oil every 25hrs
Planning to run stock top end until 90hrs
B class
75hs
- broken rear shock at 20hrs
- broken gearbox at 40hrs
- changed piston kit at 40hrs
- broken gearbox at 75hrs
Last bike was a '14 KX 450 I sold with 150h with just oil changes too.
Haven't changed a piston since I jumped to 4 strokes in 2007. Spend all my money in suspension.
131.9 hours
Motor is completely untouched. Haven’t checked valves or anything. Starts second kick. I’ll probably have to do something with it soon though.
Very fortunate to be in a place and position where I can ride almost every week 52 weeks of the year. Some of your guys hours makes me sad!
