Thank you all for the overwhelming friendly replys and the congrats
I check the valves every 15.000 - 18.000 miles.
Adjusted only once (38.500 miles) and never more
In detail: in most cases I only exchanged wear parts (tyres, chain, oil, rear wheel damper, step rubber, headlight bulb, head pipe bearing, rear left wheel bearing, front brake disks, frond and rear brake pads).
Except this, i only had four minor issues:
- 53,400 km: some idling problems (solved)
- 62,065 km: 13 valves adjusted (and never again till now)
- 99.404 km: the starter switch was replaced
- 100.875 km: spokes were broken (rear wheel) - after 100.000 km and riding some bad streets with a lot of luggage even spokes are wear parts.
Absolute no issues for the last 61.000 km
All parts not mentioned are still original:
- Engine
- Battery
- Clutch
- Gearbox
- …
I am using Metzeler Z8, EBC pads and D.I.D. chains
A list of what / when I exchanged you'll find on my website (unfortunately my website is in German. I linked it via Google translate):
