Well, my RF900 has 66,500 MILES on it. I got it with 43,500 miles on the clock and no guarantees that the shims had been checked.
I haven't done anything about it since and I finally got around to having it checked last week. I would assume it hasn't had the valves adjusted in at least 36000 MILES - that's over 50,000 kms.
Not ONE of them was out of spec.
I change the oil every 3000 miles (5000 kms), keep it tuned mostly okay, replace the tyres when necessary and it keeps trucking on.
I aim to get at least 100,000 miles out of this one.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
