XR400R, are ridiculous oilchange intervals true ?
On thumpertalk, I read about oilchange intervals of 1000-1500km max. That will be a lot of work and money when going f.x. from Europe to South Africa.
And people say that 2-strokes are not suitable for long distances, but the XR will be exactly as expensive as buying 2-T oil for a 2-stroke !!
I was always told that 2 strokes are unreliable and break down easily, and "diesels" just go on and on. Why are 4-T drivers then so nervous of a breakdown that they change oil that often ?
The XR is not even highly tuned,a 400cc with 30hp on the wheel? My trackbike a Honda NSR250 has 65hp!!
Surely these short intervals must be for enduro racing/offpiste driving etc.
For a transport distance on paved road,what would be the oilchange interval ?
