squidward, how often do you have to adjust the valves on that beast? I have been looking at a couple 450s, but I have been told that the valves need to be check every 10 hours. I am looking for a trail bike, not moto, 10 hours sounds kinda fucked.

That one was a 250 2-stroke. No valves to mess with.

Rebuilds aren't that hard.
Sock rebuilds aren't that expensive.
