Normal
maintenance is the same, or cheaper, because a quart of pre mix will last allot longer than a 4 stroke oil change, but the top end may wear faster. When it comes to rebuild a 2 stroke top end is significantly cheaper, because you dont have to worry about cams, cam chain, valves, valve seats etc... It is actually quite easy and can be done for less than $150, where as valves for a 4 stroke will be that much alone...
