8757 miles

A '96 I picked up two days ago.

Problems?
- Leaking petcock causing a crankcase full of gas
- Getting the left foot control off, because the lower bolt (that is also an engine mount bolt) hits the tab on the kickstand
- Breaking loose Philips head screws that have way too much thread lock and/or rust on them
- The occasional weird 11mm or 13mm nut (and why must the stem nut be a bigger size than the fork caps?)
- Taking a chunk out of a knuckle while trying to wrestle the battery box out
- Trying to work the drive belt off the rear sprocket so I could remove the rear wheel so I could remove the fender and all the crap bolted to it

But it's finally to this stage:

Travel kills ignorance.

My bike "mileage" depends on whether you're asking about:

- the chasis: ~78,000 miles, still pretty much stock
- the speedometer: (salvage replacement) shows ~44,000
- the current engine: (salvage replacement) ~27,000

I've had enough problems that I'm an experienced Suzuki Savage Remove-Replace-Rebuild-Remodify Technician! Wink

Reply #33 - 12/02/10 at 12:47:11 I finally remembered to check and actually remembered when I came back inside. 12750 miles. I have not have any "major problems" I did replaced the cam chain and chain tensioner, more of a preventative thing than anything else. I also fixed the plug leak thing.

Yep, suit and tie for a preacher. I was on my way to preach a funeral on a rather chilly October day. Those suit pants do not block the wind chill near as well as jeans do. I was going any way, it was a prett day and I figured I just as well ride the bike. And I think Jack, the guest of honor at the funeral, would have approved.

An '08 with tad over 20,000. Oil and filter every 1,000 miles (don't flame me!), installed a Versalvy, a Raptor petcock, drilled out the brass cover for the fuel mix, fixed the speedo rattle; and performed a modified Diamond Jim seat fix for my backside. No leaks, no hums (except for the slightly annoying vibration/rattle of the belt guard at low speeds), and no problems!

You're invisible and naked.
Ride safe,
Jay
