Re: high mileage?
Mine is 7 or 8 months old now. I have 15k on the clock. I bought it brand new.
Whatever the milage, make sure it has a service history! You can usually set your watch by my service schedule! (you might be 200miles late for work if you did, but you get the point!) |

Re: high mileage?
I got 130,000+ trouble free miles , after that, no serious troubles but noticable increase in oil consumption
compression test @ 135k service revealed 230psi compression rear cylinder and 90psi for the front. subsequent engine teardown revealed valve guides worn beyond service limits (consistent with oil consumption, only smoked a bit on startup), one exaust valve in front was not seating properly due to valveguide, pistons & rings were not worn beyond service limits but worn enuf to warrant replacement crank, rods & bearings all ok, but cam chains worn beyond service limits, so case will need to be split for rebuild anyway, bike was 100% dealer serviced, per chart in owners manual, no more, no less this bike was used as an adventure bike, at least 40,000 miles of total were gravel roads & fire trails, prolly a couple thousand miles of single track dirtbike trail, stanting on pegs slipping clutch in 1st &2nd gear, maybe 15,000 miles or so of divided highway and the rest, rural & secondary roads, less than 500 miles of urban riding original clutch lasted 102k, at that time only fibre plates & springs were changed, still has original steel plates voltage regulator/rectifer was replaced 2 times, nothng else except normal oil changes, tuneups etc. valve clearance only needed adjustment 2 times forts time @ 75k, second time @ 120k YMMV |

Re: high mileage?
My K5 is gonna be 2 yeas old at the end of june and has done 27,000 miles so far. It's never let me down once, I had a new chain and sprocket at about 20,000 miles, serviced it, put tyres on it and fueled it up and thats it.
