very strong and reliable, my buddy has the same bike..
change the oil very frequently, trans and engine oil are seperate. change them often
and use good oil.
the valve issues were mostly on the 250f or badly flogged 450's
but checking them on schedule is still very important

have fun with that airfilter too!!
