@stvna8040 ya I use gas and it eats everything off like immediately lol

[marklewisonline]

@thomas9781 Just remember, the reason you don't use gas is because it eats away at the filter and the seams. If you replace your filter often then using gas is not so bad, but if you use it all the time it will weaken the foam and allow more dirt through.

1500$ top end? I suggest you find a new shop.

[deathslayer0102]

its not 1500 to rebuild a top end try like 200 bucks or 300 tops..

@CaseIH232 Have you ever rebuild a bike ?

My crf250 from 07's head was cracked and i had to order a new one.

When ordering from the factory itself without taxes it was 1200 euro's new wich is about 900-1000 dollars. + All the labour hours can easly run up to 1500$ and if you have bad luck your valves and crank shaft are also busted wich will add even more to the 1500 ...

1500 is a full engine rebuild for me down here in South Africa... lol

I just buy a new filter every time instead of cleaning it and this guy uses way to much oil haha

[csmotocross951]

take your filter dip it in some gas and squeeze the oil out. wash the filter in soapy water to wash the gas and leftover dirt out and then rinse the filter in clean water. and 1500 isnt far off on a 4 stroke.

@Blubbershnikle yur friends are stupid lol, the reason why you cant see any oil is because its been cycled around the engine, lubricating parts, clutch, piston, cylinder etc, so of course there wont be much oil because its busy lubricating other parts!

who cares if it is $1500? maybe it was for him, you all dont know that

[321HITMAN123]

1500 top end? more like 100 you gota love 2 strokes and i wash mine in parafin then warm soapy water then use like a spray bottle to coat the filter works a treat and you use like hardly any oil per filter
