Do 2-stroke engines need oil change?

Is YZ 125 fast?
Paradoxically, while not as powerful or as fast, the YZ125 is a blast to ride. The added dose of power down low makes it easy to get the blue bike up to speed with nary a touch of the clutch. And while it may not match the KTM’s numbers at high rpm, it does rev to 11,700 rpm before falling off the pipe.
What happens if you dont change your dirt bike oil?
If you haven’t changed the oil in a while and you go race, then there’s a slight chance that you will lock up the motor, and that is not what you want to happen during a moto. I suggest changing the oil on a motocross bike every 1-2 races. Possibly more if you’re riding a lot in between race days.

How often do you rebuild a 125 two stroke?
As you can imagine the hours are clocking up on that rebuild pretty quickly. Eric Gorr says the 125 two strokes need new bottom ends every 80 hours. I think I’ll go through 80 hours within the next year or two! But I can deal with that, whatever.
