Got my R last sept. ( labor Day weekend ) with 4750 miles and it has 13000+ now. Not to bad for living in Ohio and also riding my DR650 when I do long trips. I love the WR but the 650 has alot more power for passing cars and the seat is a little better. My 650 has 38000 miles 28000 from me in less then 3 years. Hope to hit 40000 this summer

wow 41,000 yep! seems to be a good one.


mine is a good one to, 1/08 was the date it was made. i just put a new piston and rings with the change of the cam chain.

the cain was stretched pretty good and the piston was worn around the bottom so i had some piston slap going, you could hear it pinging. the cylinder walls were good.

the motor is tight again and strong, didn't lose anything.

I'm just a hair under 41,000 miles on mine, except she's all original inside still. Very happy

Mine reached 24,000 miles before I sold it last year. I even filled it up with river water on one occasion and after I changed the oil a couple of times she took me another couple of thousand miles to Magadan without a hiccup! Awesome.

Nice to hear that I can look forward to at least a couple more years out of my 2012.
I have 12000km in one year, and have only done regular scheduled maintenance.

Hello Drater,

That is incredible!!!

Where do you ride that you racked up that kind of mileage???

I am out of Thousand Oaks and have ridden in the hills above Santa Barbara once...do you know if the trail is open that goes to Solvang???

Thanks

Hello,

The maps I am looking at are sketchy on these trails...could I tag along on one of your rides to learn the trails???

Hello Drater,

Unfortunately I cannot get off during the week.

Do you have the day after thanksgiving off?

Thanks,
Ken

Certainly I didn't think it was much but mine sits at 15k, with no real farkles and a few good beatings. Only cosmetic things broke/plus a few cracks in the instrument panel that are now sealed up with silicone.

WRX with 29,000 klm of every type of riding, no work done, just oil, oil filters, tyres, chain and sprockets and air filter.

Was at the local dealer yesterday getting some filters and asked about the 40,000klm valve clearance check and a shim kit. He said it's very unlikely I'll need to shim it, but should check as recommended, then buy shims if needed. Does this sound right to those that have already been there?

Mark at "Big Dog Adventures" checked his at 18,200 miles, (roughly same kilometers as yours), and his did need a little tweak. Google his site, and scroll down through his "WR" build/maintenance blog. He has pictures of his experience with re-shimming the valves on his WR250R.
