I don't have reliability issues with any of the two strokes and the xl/xr's were as reliable as you could expect your own buildups to be. high 40 low 50 hp xr500's were expected to be short fused. I haven't put one (crf250) together as a stocker yet, but it seems that all the parts in the engines were built as light as possible, which has an obvious advantage, but material selection etc makes them shorter than some others. Kaw and Suzuki seemed to learn after their first 250f's but Honda for all I know still has not changed their approach. In my case, I don't even like riding this one as much as I expected I would.
