Biggest issue by far with the NSR USED TO BE fried PGM's (ECU's).
Once the problem was diagnosed, it's almost unheard of one burning out. When it does happen, it's usually a first-time poster here asking about it! Anyone who's read NSR-WORLD.COM (or NSR250.COM in the past) will know how to prevent PGM failure with basic periodic maintenance!
The only other problems stem from "home tuning" where the "tuner" is armed with just enough information to cause mechanical disaster!
In standard (delimited) form, at 60-ish hp, the NSR should be totally reliable, requiring as wb says, standard 2-stroke road-bike maintenance.
One thing the NSR can never fail from is RC (power) Valve failure like the RGV. It is impossible for the Valves to fail and interfere mechanically with any other internal moving part. The Honda motor is a far superior design, and shares many features (and in some states of tune) many parts with one of the most successful GP motors of all time.
