2stroke4stroke Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I'd suggest that, in relative terms, yours is barely run in. A pal sold his 2005 last year and it still sounded like a Swiss watch and on the original plug. No SSDTs admitttedly but an indication of lifespan. Keep the oil fresh and the air filter clean and it should go on a lot longer than your hour meter will last at any rate. Others will have similar stories; I think JRSunt might have the most experience in this matter.

bbk Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 if you can handle the 6 day the bike will take you there and back and will ready before you are for the next event. Tough bikes they keep you smiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 It'll go until the petrol tank's empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsunt Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 If you are concerned I'd spend a bit of money now, rather than wait too long and have to spend alot of money. New piston, rings and pin £130 ish, barrell re coat £130, new valves, springs etc probably another 100. If it goes bang then you could be looking at 2k My 2006 had alot of hard hours on it, including several ssdt's, scotts, french 4 days, reeth 3 days, it would have gone for longer but I welded an oil way up which helped kill it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White hawk Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've had an 06 for the last 10yrs and it's had one plug a tyre or 3 and chain and sprockets more than once . It's still on the original brake pads ! It's never failed to start for me , I keep threatening to update for a newer model but can't really see the point . No wonder they don't sell many as they go on and on ! on and on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binit Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Jrsunt how many hours did your do before you had trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsunt Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I can't imagine how many hours it did. 4 ssdts and 6 scotts alone would put at least 120 hours on it. I'd practise 2 times a week for a year or so and I bet there weren't many weekends that I didn't ride from 2006-2009. The bike had oil and filters every 2 months ish, valves were checked and set every 6 months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
