Reply #16 - 04/11/09 at 18:21:02 Passed the 4000 mile mark yesterday, on an '08. Last 3 months we've only been working 4 days every two weeks, so I've been getting some riding in when the weather cooperates. And sometimes when it doesn't!

Rolled it away from the stealership, new, with 2 miles on it, almost exactly a year ago. At this rate, I'll need to inspect that dreaded cam chain tensioner sometime next year.

96 Savage only has 23K on it. Bought it a couple years ago with 15K on it. Been working on it too much lately and not riding it enough. Now the mods are done, that'll change.

However, the Shadow just rolled over 50K. Bought it last summer with 45K on it. I really haven't had time to ride as much as I've wanted to, work's been busy. All that mileage has been mostly to work and back, with a 50-100 miler fun ride every other week or so. I've planned 3 out of state trips for this summer though, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona. Hoping to ride 5K this summer alone.

My guess is 40 to 50k time to change (that's conservitive)

Ah yes, I knew that would bring up "the chart"!! Cheesy

Looks like I forgot to say when I went to the 2nd hole. (At least in that thread). Had to have been about 14k .. next oil change.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Reply #22 - 04/14/09 at 10:30:25 Just under 5700 on my '06 that I bought with .1 miles in August of '07. I'll be really happy when the wet spring weather changes to dry summer and I can ride more. On a positive note, I mailed the last payment on it today!

My 87 has only 6443 miles. I have had her about 8 months and put almost half of them on myself. I am not sure why people get bikes and then don't ride them. A friend bought a shadow (I think) right before I did. I rode mine every week since I have had it, except 1 when we were out of town. He told me he only rode his a couple of times, more to keep the battery charged than anything else. I bought my bike to ride, for transportation, to get from here to there much chepaer than I can drive my F150 4x4 and because it was fun. I changed the oil soon after I got it, had the petcock leak and just wanted to make sure no gas in the oil. So it is about time for a change. I ordered the filter and plug head cap from BikeBandit today.

Reply #28 - 04/16/09 at 10:59:33 2500 on 1, 3300 on another, ~12K showing, close to 30K actual on a third that has been 100% rebuilt ... and I have never ridden it. I bought it with the cam chain sawing through the case and rebuilt into a chopper and ... yet to finish. Cool. Srinath.
