Im not positive exactly on a yz250f.. Im sure your manual will say somthing around every 20hours...
I run one season on one piston with my cr125.. Im not worried about slight powerloss so Its not worth changing it so often.
And my cylender stays in good shape.. its not belled or our of round.

well, since the 4 stroke works on every other stroke, instead of every stroke, I'd say the rings would last twice as long as a 2 stroke's. Think I'd replace em before that though.

the piston will last a long time. My manual says that the rings should be replaced around 1000 km but im sure they will last longer.

As for what I like and dislike about the bike, it be to much typing to tell you what I like, so what I dont like is how I really cant do no handed landers. the engine breaking learches me forward, also how the seat is shaped. But I would deffinatly get this bike, its got tons of power and real fast, very comfurtable in the air too.

you replace the rings every 40-50 hours an a yz250f and im not sure when you change the oil anyway the yz250f is a bad bike i love that thing its way faster then any 125 to cross my path 125's dont stand a chance. if you do wheelies alot check your oil before you ride everytime you ride because it spills out of the breathing holes everytime you do a wheely and after one year replace your valves for your front tubs cause if you jump alot they will start to leak and try your hardest not to stall it its a pain when its hot but its alot of fun to ride hope you get one you will love it bye

no problem i hope you will like the bike as much as i do. atleast when you race you will have an advantege over 125's cause even "the works" 125 wich is a hooked up 125 is no match for the 250f stay riding bye
