A little guidance required

Katman's answer is still correct. It's a how long is a piece of string question, depends on the bike, the year of manufacture, the condition, how it's been ridden, what oil was used and how often the air filter was cleaned... Next time you do a piston-swap, check for play in the crank, if it's all good, keep going.

Just for reference though, I did about 200hrs on my RM250 without even a piston swap, but I was very strict with the air filter and gearbox oil changes and for the most part of the ownership, trail rode it like a pussy, I was waiting for it to show signs of needing a new piston or rings before doing the swap and they never happened. It was still running sweet when I sold it and the new owner carried on with the same maintenance for a good few hours.

Sweet, sounds good, i'll do a few more hours on it before opening and having a look.

Cheers for the reference on your experience, I just noted most bikes with Hours listed on Trademe appeared to be well sub-200 which made me question a bit... but as always, until you open it up and have a proper measure who knows...
