who's got the most mileage??

99 Model... I have done 141'233kms... Nothing major has been done to it.

Dead set? Not even a camchain?

i've done mine

Recently, or at, like, 50,000km?

I'm so not looking forward to the time when my 6 eventually starts to make that particular rattle. Not trusting myself to be able to split and rejoin a camchain, it'll be split-the-cases time... eugh.

wouldnt have been more than 20K ago, got 93 on it now. it was actually the tensioner that stuffed up.

I have to get out and ride more often,
my Z 1000 is 11 months old and only 7,000 ks

few nasho runs on sunday mornings will fix that

audley entrance 0830

would love too but Next few weekends booked out,
with the wifes and kids birtdays

(gets out checklist for tomorrow's spannering episode)
(scribbles "check camchain tensioner" on it)

Have I mentioned I'm the most paranoid home mechanic in the Southern Hemisphere?

Nope - Cam chain is still original. Apart from your normal chain, sprokets, brakes, shimms, etc I did have to replace my steering head bearings ( due to too many 'accidental' wheelies).

Castrol Synthetic 4 stroke.. umm think it is called XT is what I have always used.
I was also told to run one unleaded fuel tank to 4 premium tanks. Apparently it cleans the bikes spark plugs etc up.
Plus I kiss and tuck my bike in every night, it's the love and care.... isn't it? lol
<feeling like a weirdo>

Ok, not mine and I do not know the guy that well but I was talking to an old guy at Robertson Pie Shop 2 weekends ago who had an r100rs BMW which he claimed had 452,000 kms on it.

He was the original owner and had full history.

Others who know this guy have no doubt that the mileage is valid.

For what it was worth, the bike was in very good nick although the same cant be said of the owner (he was about 80 in the shade).

wasn't an old german guy was it? i remember meeting an old german guy who'd travelled across the world with his wife on an old BMW, he's got a book out about it.

my '99 zx6r has done 87,000 kms

You have to get out and ride more......I just sold my ZXR250 with a little under 34,000ks. I bought 5 years ago with 28,000ks on it.

Bloody fair weather riders........

1000k's a week average

Bloody hell Scotty, wanna save some of that Petrol money for the group Rides, as i know we certainly missed your company on the Capton Strap On adventure last week end.
Cheers Brett

Aww shucks Brett
Yeah it looked like quite an adventure and missed some monumental moments too.

interested reading the mileage.....not feeling so bad now....there is life left in my bike...zx6 2000 just clicked over 130 000..and still going...although...curious as to servicing...it did get its 20 000km service a few years ago...must be due for another one soon....kwaka's are tough!!

matt

LOL!!!! that's what i was waiting for.... just riding the thing and NEVER servicing it.... wondering how that went, cuz my old CBR6 was on par with your zx6 (over 100G and not being serviced for 70G+!)
cool, good to know.
