Depends on the four stroke. Get a dual sport or a tame enduro, and it'll last forever, but you'll be down on power versus a smoker. Get any of the newer four stroke MX-ers, and you're looking at even shorter service intervals than the two strokes. The recent CRF450s notoriously have a 15 hour interval on the top end. They'll go (a lot) longer, but if you're going to rebuild something a lot, doing a top end on a two stroke is a lot easier, quicker, and cheaper.Those wheels look good on there.
Quick question because I know you know your dirt bike shit. I've been looking at possible candidates for a sumo and wouldn't it better to get a 4 stroke instead of say a 2 stroke cr250 because the 4 stroke motor will last longer? just seems like all the ads for 2 strokes say needs new top end or just had a fresh top end rebuild.
The top and bottom end i rebuilt on this for $300.Those wheels look good on there.

110/60/17 and 140/70/17What size wheel/tires and rotors? I might do this swap and ditch my 17" spokes.
I get a lot of inspiration from you and travel, Ben.
Thus the thread name, "bail me out" lol
i'll have to stud some tires and head up to the lake with you guys this winter
I do too, believe, just not for a sumo track bikeEventually a cr500 will be swapped in, I'm OK with top ends every 10-12 hours. I loooove 2 strokes from a-z wouldn't trade em for the world
