i have 2 Ds450s, mine is being rebuilt because a piece of the clutch ended up in a crank bearing (id rather not type up the entire explanation again!). go to my rebuild thread for more info lol

the other one, my dads, has had one problem in the past 2.5 years. and it was a bad relay. i ride that F***er almost every day around town, or around the ranch. before i got my license i put more miles on that thing than most people put on their cars. even in the middle of December i rode that thing for hours!

ive done a total of 3 oil changes and clean the air filter every month or so, i think the clutch is wearing a little but its not bad.

i don't think oil changes play a huge role in engine failures, if you can afford to change your oil every time you so much as look at the thing, then be my guest. but for us normal people, truth is... its just not convenient or cheap enough to make it realistic
