Hi, i currently own a YZ125 and come end of the season i would of done a year riding it as my first bike, as a weekend rider riding more or less every weekend. I do all of the vital maintenance on my 2 stroke, and im fully aware a 4 stroke needs equally as much in terms of oil, oil filter and air filter change etc.
The things im curious about are prices of major maintenance, such as piston, bottom end rebuilds, shims, valves etc. Im thinking about just sticking out with a 2 stroke simply for the cost of those things put me off. Thanks fellas, and ladies.

If you stay off the rev limiter you will have a good running, long lasting 4 stroke. If you bounce it off the rev limiter regularly, it just will not last. Remember that these 4 stroke engines are built for high RPM's and high horsepower at almost any cost and thus the life is just a lot shorter than that of a street bike 4 stroke engine.
