while im not a mechanic i would think smashing on the rev limiter would be the first reason why you could knock a valve out of alignment. personally, i stay off of it.

i change my oil regularly. i bought my pickup tube before i got into the whole scene.

small investments go along way. if you prep your bike for how you intend to use it and then maintain, guarantees max life ya think? cant bash on a bike that performs as well as it was maintained.

 

i read somewere that over filling cases oil pressure on the engine,

so am thinking makeing it easyer to blow up?

 

hey dino? when am i gonna see u stunt around here??? me and toby have ridden the last 4 weekends....and u know how the weatehrs been....com on...i wanna see some skills around central PA

 

you wont see me untill the sumer,it probly feels like -50 when rideing...

 

all makes have some issues, pretty much like winning the lottery if you don't have any... which i have won so far, but who knows now since i said that.

Bought my 04 750 august 19th 2004 new and wheelied it out the parking lot and been on it everysince, had 14000 on it before i started stunting it and have yet to have a problem, always run 1 quart over, and that's pretty much all i do, but i do think that one thing has helped a bunch, i very RARELY EVER let it hit limiter. If i'm rocking long wheelies and i start climbing the RPM's, i always set it down between 10-11 if i can't slow it down soon enough for my liking.

They do suck on sub frames though, went through 4 last year before i finally found a guy who could weld aluminum good and knew where to support it, plus i run a piece of flat steel from the top rear set bolts to the bottom pass. peg bolt, not problems since. so i know i'm lucky with no motor probs, but maybe your riding has more to do with it than the motor...just my

 

If you get a honda, get a 1000. When you got the suzi why not a 1000? The damn thing bangs up on power from 4k in 1st. As for 2nd gear clutchin up from 4k and ending up at 6-7k at bp leaves you a lot of gear to play with without goin anywhere near the rev limiter? 600's to much redlining

 

dino dont be a wuss....doesnt matter what the weather is, we ride...
