If you look at what I was commenting on it was NOT the fact that 4 strokes "might" require more maintenance than a 2 stroke it was the fact that he said he didn't know how to maintain a bike. I was pointing out the obvious important maintenance needed (2 or 4 stroke)
His quote
FWIW my 1997 KTM 250 is on it's original lower end and gearbox. Motor has never been opened up. I just change the original clutch plates ONLY because I'm installing a Rekluse auto clutch so I figured why not. 2 pistons and a few sets of rings and that's it. The bike is ridden hard and has been raced. Yes, roads are not the 2 strokes forte and I am not a 4 stroke hater by any means. Excellent maintenance practice goes a loooong way 2 or 4 stroke.
I love this place we all can have different opinions and still act like mature adults.
IMHO I love my 510 for open terrain...and I love my 300 for the S/T stuff.
and well the 280 is just plan fun and stands in a class all by itself.
on a side note, i would also like to congratulate you on having quite possibly one of the most popular threads here. 64 responses, 65 with this one. holy cow! congrats!
