That is, I will say again, a wonderful choice of motorcycle, Spud. It is not as bulletproof as a Zong or a KLX or an XR, but in your hands it will do great.
The performance is worth the effort.
I've ridden my YZ about 100 hours now, and it has about 150 hours on it total. Other than oil changes and coolant flushes and valve checks, I have done little to it other than enjoy it. The fact is neither one of us rides hard enough to really tax these machines. :wink:
