Every winter. Ensures a worry free mind in the summers.
Hell I built my R in 2009 and I haven't done anything to it except for chains, sprockets, and oil change. The clutch needs attention but it still runs like a raped ape..

Was doing it between 150 and 200 hours (trail riding, race would be much more often), but that is about to change. I have a 16 hour trip planned and I'm at about 180 hours on the rings. I plan to pull the pipe off next week. If the piston is shiny below the rings it goes as is, if it's brown I'll put rings in it. With a nikasil bore if you change rings early enough the piston can last a long time, but if you run them till the rings are sloppy you'll need a piston and you could break a skirt as well.
It sucks to get old
Compression check at end of your riding season!! And as soon as compression dips below 150PSI it is time. That is what i do.
