Elizabeth, my 2001 has 142,000 miles (225km). I faced reality at 103K when I burned up 5th gear. $1500 in parts to rebuild the transmission. My labor. 50% would have trade it or sell it immediately. 45% would let 5th gear sing until the transmission explodes. 4% would buy a complete used engine...I am the one precent that will fix it. As long as the cases are solid and frame is straight...and I can buy the parts Elizabeth gets fixed or updated.

Steering head and Swing arm bearings where done about the same time as the transmission. Wheel bearings where done on the original wheels. The replacement wheels are still running the oem bearings. I bent a front wheel on pothole...Rear wheel rusted out...replace with late thruxton aluminum wheel. I rebuilt the original wheels with good used rims. These are saved as spares for future use.
