lathrop Posted March 25, 2010 So Im pretty new to riding a 450 and have a double header style harescrambles this weekend. 3 hours on saturday and 3 on sunday wondering whether you guys would change the oil between races? I think on my 250 it would have been no worries but i dont wanna ruin anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qfactor03 Posted March 25, 2010 Don't know if yours are anything like ours here in FL as far as tight trails, but I'd at least do an oil change and skip the filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lathrop Posted March 25, 2010 The majority of them are like that but this is going to be more desert sand whooped 4th 5th gear not very motor friendly. I think oil minus the filter sounds good thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
souphmars Posted March 26, 2010 I would just drop the oil and put new oil in it. Now, if your filter has a few hours on it prior to the race on Saturday, I would change the filter too, but if it is a brand new filter I wouldn't worry about it. I change my oil all the time. I will change it after a supercross race where we only get about 30 minutes of track time at the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
souphmars Posted March 26, 2010 I would also have another air filter to put in it, or clean the one you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
