75,000 miles and counting
Not too shabby I think.
9 years, 49 states, 6 Canadian provinces, and more memories than someone should be allowed to have. The ONLY non-regular maintenance item problems I have experienced with this bike over 75k has been a blown right side fork seal (65k) and worn out front wheel bearings, which was a stupid factory non-sealed design (71k). Other than that, I've replaced the battery, tires, chain and sprocket sets, and lots of oil and gas. Regular and detailed maintenance really *does* go a long way for anybody taking notes. Take care of your stuff! Motor still runs as good as the day I bought her. I'm going to give the bike a full tear down this winter, much like I did with the Ducati and KLR, just to look everything over and see what if anything needs attention.
