Keep in riding !

WOW! I thought that it was an accomplishment when I rolled over to 100,000 KILOMETRES on my '08. Now I'm just hanging my head in shame.

I think everytime he does a milestone he should give an indepth review on what has happened with the bike good and bad. What changes he would make to the bike and what he really really thinks of the bike.

I would love to hear that from someone in the know and he is for sure that.

Very IMPRESSIVE Garry!

Ride safe,
Smokier

Congrats Garry. That's like 50K miles a year! Best I have ever done is 21k in a year, while working 50 hours a week and 4 months off for winter.

Congrats, i have 4 also...but only 3 zeros after it

Is all of that on the original engine? Any issues with it?

DaPreacha · 04-06-2018, 06:28 AM

Now that is riding! I would send that info to Kawasaki, they might want to use it for publicity and give you a new bike!!

I think Garry is on the 2nd engine. The first one developed transmission issues.

That’s still VERY impressive.

Original engine went 252,000 miles but I replaced the complete lump due to problems with second gear. Current engine has 168,000 miles.
Nothing has ever went wrong with either engine or clutch, replaced only spark plugs and fluids and filters.
I already have engine #3 waiting to go in at 500k, just for peace of mind.

Amazing! Man, that is a lot of saddle time. I look forward to seeing the post at 500k.
