The CRF does eat parts as dos any other enduro bike, use the BMW it is a better choice. Considering I change the oil after every race or 2 trail rides, I doubt you would get that far without something going bang. That said, valves are easy to adjust but what about synthetic oil availability??
Not sure on the valves but after every other weekend, either a race or trail ride
they still sound fine. I adjust them once every 6 months and that is it.
If your hell bent on an enduro machine why not an XR400, 1000 mile oil service interval and easy maintenance. A pair of soft panniers for £30, a big tank for £150 and your'e off. If a leccy start is that important get one there £500 here in the UK but cheaper anywhere else.
