[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1284691, member: 22658"] Then answer there is "it depends" on how much you ride! Better stated - how many hours/miles of use between top ends. If you ride little, multiple years, if you ride lots, more often. I have a 2005 KTM 250 EXC, bought new in April 2005. Used for Michigan woods riding and enduro racing. It now has around 5500 miles or oh, 250 ish hours (not sure on those #s but they are close- my odo broke a while back) on it now. I am just now doing my second top end rebuild, and doing a bottom end rebuild simply as "insurance". Cylinder looked fine, piston and rings certainly looked due for replacement, crank actually all measured up within spec. so technically did not need a rebuild, but I wanted it done on a "preventive" basis anyhow. In the past I had a 2000 KTM 300 - it had 7 or 8,000 miles on it when I sold it. In that time I did two bottom ends - one due to sucking in mung and goo from a mud hole it was dropped in, the other due to simply time for a rebuild. It had, I think 2, maybe 3 top ends in that same time frame. your mileage may vary.... [/QUOTE]
