[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1374867, member: 77507"] In Cali you need to watch the green/red sticker B.S. I think 2 strokes newer than 02 or something are only legal to ride certain times of the year. The newer 4 stroke race bikes are high maintenance. The 250f being the most needy. They run 13k+ rpm and have these little pancake looking things for pistons. The super short skirt makes for faster wear. The valve trains are mostly titanium for reduced weight and they wear faster, especially if they see even a spec of dust. The valve adjustments are a bit of a project. The larger bore thumpers tend to be more hardy as people usually spend less time in the upper rpms. The CRF-X and WR-F lines are based on the mx bikes with wide ratio trannies and softer suspension, lights, e-start, etc. If you want to go with a new 4 stroke for woods I'd recommend the WR/CRF450. Both bikes seem to be well liked. If you don't mind going back a few years the XR400 is a really solid bike with a lower performance/lower maintenance engine. [/QUOTE]
