    Where do you get these figures from? So 1000ks and it due for a rebuild?

    Some people will find any excuse not to race, some of us will do anything to race
    I think youve been extroadinarily lucky with motor life Sloan! Either that or you have really good mechanical sensitivity / sympathy. Moreso than Craig!

    There is not one iota of doubt in my mind that if you ran a modern day engine at the max revs that "old school" motors ran at. (sub 13K) - They would last literally forever. I.E 250,000km +

    Thoughts ?

    I would agree and in an endurance race your not revving the bike like a sprint race anyway. Changing at 13k is gonna help your gas life and your body.
