He said the owners manual said it needed to be checked after a get off. I would imagine that would be real fun to try to do during a muddy race or ride. They need some sort of automatic air purge so this isn't an issue IMO. Of course, they are still fairly new so we'll have to wait and see if I'm imagining a potential problem or if it really is one.

That's a good question. I rode a friends 250 XCW TPI & really liked it. But I didn't crash it, thankfully.

Maybe run a little oil pre mix just to be on the safe side, in the event of a momentary oil starvation.
