HAHA ya its some seat time. What can I say I like to ride....and yes Im a workin stiff just like the rest of us.[:'(] Bought the bike in 0ct 03'....lived in AZ with it for a fewyears then moved back home with it to Chicago.
Its been around...all round the state of AZ(great mtn riding!!), rockin the mean streets of Vegas till the sun comes up...All around the midwest too just nothing comparable to riding out west.
Raced it at the strip(drag not track)at least 30 passes on it. best 10.87 @129
Its been wheelied a lil
I ride it hard and has seen just about every thing.
Never been down , its MINT after 50k
NO big problem either.
-Lets see I adjusted valves at 20k-ish and again at 40k-ish (all but one looked good)
-put a new valve cover gasket on at about 42k
- JUST did fork seals and oil this pastweekend
-new battery at the 4 year mark
-new rear pads at about 40k
-did clutch at 40k-ish
thats the extent of whats needed replacement or work on the bike.
Have run MX-4T mobile fullsyn the whole time except for breakin.
The rings are gettin a lil tired I think...but hey after that many HARD miles who cares
