How many miles you got?
07/31/07 at 13:29:38
Hey. I'm fairly new. I would like to hear from riders about how many miles they have put on their thumpers. I have ridden mine over 51,000 with routine maintenance, although now it's down for a rebuild. How do others compare with that?..........Guy

Mine is a 2000 year model LS650P, fully stock. Had it ever since it was a year old with 600 miles on it. I'm changing the cam chain for the first time, as I'm doing a top end overhaul. Thanks for the replies.........Guy

Bought a 2001 with 10,460 mile with dead engine. (Piston probelm). Cam chain was in good shape but replaced it as a precaution.
Piston problem looks to have been cylinder origianlly at tight side of tolerance fm Factory and possibly a maintanence (oil chg) issue.
See "the inside the engine - photo" thread,

Just rolled over 22k with Glenn a week ago or so. 1986 Savage that I got with 18k on it in March this year.
PO is a Honda Tech who got the bike for free from his grandpa or uncle or something. They had let the cam chain go. PO replaced "everthing that was even near the d@mn cam chain."
He's a dealership tech, of course he just replaced everything
I think he changed the cam chain at around 16-17k. Had the bike parked in his living room, cleaned the parts in the sink. Motor on the coffee table while the chain was going into it. Lost a girlfriend over the deal. He says it was worth it.

I bought my '99 Savage with 17.5K on the clock a few months ago. Three weeks after I bought it, the cam chain took a dump on me. It took me three weeks to get it back together, and since then I have put 2k miles on it.
