What a trip back in time! I just looked a few posts back and now we're at 21K after recent maintenance. Just seems like yesterday but you know what they say about fun!

11,000 here just did my 1st oil an filter change, tomarrow is a new KanN air filter and new plug. just for kicks, it sat for 18 mo. before I bought her so I figured everything should be changed out. pretty sure it wasnt changed too many times before I got her, gotta get her in shape before the weather breaks.

Don't I feel like a wimp. I've got less than 3K on mine, but I bought it as a wreck and haven't gotten all of the replacement parts together. Close, but not quite there. Can't wait for spring.

A bit over 100,000 miles. Needs a new clutch but other than that it runs quite well. Could use a new fuel indicator and temp sensors but those are only inconveniences.

nnjhawk02 is an unknown quantity at this point
Almost 44k now on da Red 02

Best Mod evuh was Ohlins rear / RaceTech springs / valves up front

Second best was Givi Top Case > I get my ***** busted for have a "pizza delivery box" on it but function over form, plus lets me do road trips easier.

After that Heated Grips, Erion pipes - crashed w/ them in 03 & they still are fine & sound great!

Be Safe & Ride On

56,900 miles.

I bought my '98 VTR new in 1999. It has a Yoshimura full system exhaust, Yoshimura stage 1 cams and a Dyno-jet kit. Still as much fun to ride as it ever was!

I just finished adjusting the valve clearances and replacing the CCT lifters with new ones (instead of installing APE's, don't want to be bothered with having to manually tension the cam chains).

More of a preventive measure as the original CCT lifters never gave me any problems. Runs great! But it isn't the easiest bike to work on.

I should have installed adjustable cam sprockets while I was at it for setting the timing more precisely. Next time.

Wow. Seams like I log on heavy mileage.
Mine's an 05 and I have 71,000km on her.
I've done nothing to her other than rear wheel bearing, and CCT's.

Going like stink.

assuming here, logging 14k a year is about average. But that doesn't matter though. Its all about the smiles per miles you get out of the ride.
