My 08 has almost 50k miles on it. Most Engine parts are the originals from the factory assembly. I have a billet oil pump cover, HD clutch springs, APE cam chain tensioner and that's about it for the engine. I have changed a lot of the other parts for performance reasons. I have removed a LOT of parts to reduce weight.
The only things that have been replaced because they wore out were brake pads, battery, chain and sprockets and tires. The spark plugs even were working fine at 40k miles but they looked pretty bad. At 50k the clutch plate fibers are just about wore out but they are still working fine.
I did replace the head cover gasket with the updated part. The original gasket leaked.
I change oil and filter every 2500 miles.
I try to change air filter every 6000 miles but have gone to 8000 or even 11000 a few times.
I change brake and clutch fluids every couple years. Coolant gets changed about every three years.
I store with Seafoam fuel additive and run a little of that during the riding season.
The bike stays in a non heated storage unit all year round.
The battery is on a maintainer when stored.
I've done most of the scheduled maintenance items but not always on schedule.
No real problems with this bike have cropped up. Had a messed up thread I recently fixed. The bike will make a funny squeal/buzz from the tail when I hit the starter button with a hot engine. I think that's the starter relays. The compression test came back in spec but was at the low end of spec. The bike will still do a nice wheelie in second gear so I can't tell it's lacking power.
I wonder how long this bike will keep going before it ends up a piece of sculpture in my living room?
