Just keep up with the oil changes and don't let it run low.

A lesson learned moons ago after seizing my first bike on the German autobahn, a Z650, with me mate on the back. We live and learn if we are fortunate enough to survive.

Mine's at 45000, sounds as good now as it did when I got it a couple of years back at 19500. Uses no more oil now than it did then either, which is very little!

You have to look after your oil on SV engines make sure its topped up and changed regulary, do that and they last.
