6 years commuting .... no probs!
Fin1369 Sun 30 Mar 2014, 12:44 pm
Brought bike in early 2008, 1250SA K7 with 24km on the clock, now just pasted 155000 and (until now) hadn't skipped a beat .... best bike ever for reliability.

From Paraparaumu, Wellington, NZ and no major work done at all. Been commuting 100km round trip, 5 days then plenty rides and trips away in between. I've changed oil every 5000 without fail and filter as well every 10000. Thats the trick to a good engine I recon.

Welcome aboard.
You'd know a thing or 2 about tyres then.
Have the valve clearences ever been out of spec?

I am impressed with mine hitting around the 75000 on my old 2002 1200 but 155000 is damned impressive - It is even more impressive that you did it in En Zed.
