Our 03 wr250f and 05 yz250f werent tempermental at all. We gave them a top end rebuild after a couple of years, but only to freshen them up. Never had to adjust the valves
Re: Photography
My 07 Yz250f is still running strong, never had to do anything to it. Normal maintenance procedures go a long way.
Of course, I'm not racing every weekend either. But riding in sand all the time puts a lot of stress on the motor too.

Just some recent pictures with my lightbox... I have a bunch of mx shots to post soon as well 
Re: Photography
Yeah. Guess I'm just skeptical because my mate owned a 07 crf 250. And it was the biggest nightmare of a bike.DJ99X wrote:

Lol? No fucking wonder one of the worst bikes for valves /whole motor. They're weak motors.dylan22 wrote:

I had my 08 KTM 250f for a few years never once touched my valves, when i sold it they were still perfect. If you maintain your 250f they will last and do you well treat it like shit like most kids do because they do earn/pay for their things they don't look after them. With my new '13 Rmz250 i change my oil every 2nd ride and do my air filter every time i ride check most bolts every time etc etc. Also ride it differently to be easier on the motor don't want to have to pay the cost of rebuilding one again it's ridiculous.

Re: Photography
The only issue i ever had with my 07 YZ250f was the crank (killed two of them in a very short time), After the second one obvioulsy something else was causing it. I found that it was caused by a "going bad" oil pump. And thankfully nothing else was damaged, and bottom end rebuilds are relatively cheap. Ive adjusted the valves twice now, but i have probably over 200+ hours on the bike. Probably a lot more than that honestly. Was dumb and never got a meter for it.dylan22 wrote:Yeah.

I ride my bike like a 250f.
