high milers club

No idea of mileage on mine.
Came crashed with smashed clocks.

Last owner and I both put in serious mileage, but both kept on top of its services.
Its got a noisy 3rd gear and has needed a camchain and a few other bits.
I suspect its got a few miles under its belt.

Forgot to mention also front/rear wheel and sprocket carrier bearings and 4 pot caliper swap (mine from a GSXR600) - this latter definitely a mod I'd recommend - work better (in my view) and way cheaper to rebuild (my 4 pots didn't need a rebuild - just bolt on and away you go).
Only other issues have been the seat lock - the left hand spring in the retainer rusted away in about 45k kms and once the rivets were drilled out replaced with a spring from a biro - all good since - and the centre stand rubbers - replaced with rubber bungs from the hardware store and pan head bolts - all good too!
For me a good trick is to put a radiator cap spring over the seat latch - then when you unlock the seat it pops up and can be easily grabbed with your one free hand - rather than needing one hand to turn the key and another to lift the seat off the latch (usually there's something in the other hand that you want to put under the seat!).
Looking forward to the next 100k kms!!!

Hope that person is on here still - maybe I should change out the cam chain anyway - although no sign of any issues with that yet. Might pull tensioner out and put back in to make sure tension is good over Xmas break.

Anyway, 312k kms - plenty of time yet!!!
