.....mostly I've been keeping it below 3.5, then 4 and now 5 thousand until the first service, (with one or two excursions higher!). Then again, the rate I change bikes I won't care what it's like at 50,000km because it won't be mine! (is that selfish or irresponsible?)
Dunno I change every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years but by that tmie I've got between 65-80,000KM on them :-)

So I run them in and change the oil every 6000K and do the dealer service every 10-12,000K. I don't mind running over the recommended service interval if I've changed the oil early myself.

My Zx9 had a little top end trouble (coked up - I don't know why I did big miles each run) and it had 78000KM on it, but the TDM I traded @ 68000KM was running sweet as - shame the body work wasn't as good :cry: .
