Chris Maverick Posted January 13 Hello dear forum , I'm back with some questions ... Could i found a low maintenance dirt bike (400/450 4T OR 250 2T) ? I'm going to ride fields and much like trail riding but I want a low maintenance schedule..... Is that possible ? Possibly Enduro ? Thanks in advance @_@ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbde17 Posted January 13 They are all low maintenance if you don’t do any. But don’t expect it to be in good shape for long.. your best bet is to look at a trail bike. Crf, ttr etc etc. If you want big bike performance your gunna have to do some learning and figure out how to take care of it 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Maverick Posted January 13 (edited) I know and have all those things under considereration... Im just looking for the best option . I would go for a DRZ400 but im living in the UK .... Also I want to buy it new ._. Edited January 13 by Chris Maverick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDNSXV Posted January 13 Low power and low performance equals low maintenance. High performance equals higher maintenance. They don't sell DRZ in UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Maverick Posted January 13 Yes you're right. As far as my knoledge go , no they dont.... Even Suzuki UK website doesnt have them ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edgecombe Posted January 13 You can look into Honda crf 250 f, Kawasaki klx 250. Yamaha ttr. You're looking a XR type bike and that is low maintenance for sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Maverick Posted January 13 (edited) After a bit of research i found Honda CRF250L Rally has great maintenance schedule..... As im looking to buy a bike brand new... But 157 kerb weight and ADV category , would it be good for field and mud ? 😕 Edited January 13 by Chris Maverick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your looking a better option of a low maintenance dually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edgecombe Posted January 13 If your not riding on road, I would suggest you stay offroad bikes only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not in to road , i dont even care for license plates.... but i need a bike that wouldnt need much maintenance ... Having a look right now on those you mentioned... Full off-road bikes like MX or Enduro need high maintenance .... Like every ride cleaning the filter and things but on trail or dual sports its less frequent 😕 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying Posted January 13 8 minutes ago, Chris Maverick said: Like every ride cleaning the filter and things but on trail or dual sports its less frequent 😕 Nope. Cleaning/checking the air filter after every ride according to the conditions. This applies to every offroad bike and bikes in general. Oil changes might be a little more frequent though on hardcore machines but if you're buying new or used for that matter its a good thing to be on top of. These bikes aiant cheap. Oil and filter maintenence is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i cant find any maintenance schedule..... Sorry bothering so much tho @_@ Anything race ready will be high maintenance. We dont have those in the states and they would probably sell. No worries, I'll try to help anybody in the dirt bike community. Edited January 13 by Edgecombe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
