Not that many, about 4,800.

tryn2hrd · 09-07-2008, 04:02 PM

Mine just rolled over to 17000 today haven't had any problems except a clutch cable and batteries.By the way its a 99 model.

oyrider · 09-07-2008, 05:09 PM

I'm at 5777 and no problems. It makes all the normal noises discussed here. Functionally, I added a braided steel brake line, but should change out the brake pads too. No other complaints. Pleasant bike, love it around town.

ranger04 · 09-07-2008, 07:59 PM

Mine came outta the crate in may of 2006. I am now just shy of 15K miles. Other than the odd noise it makes when its cold (possibly cam chain wearing) and the fluid that I keep finding coming from the water hose between the cylinders that trickles down on the side of the case but have no idea what it is (does not smell like anti-freeze, does not look/smell like oil, and no fluids are low)
Other then the odd noise and mysterious fluid leak the bike runs flawless and hope to see many more miles on it

Barely over 1000. 3 other bikes share the garage. no problems yet, but I see why people replace the stock clutch springs!

Strange....I replaced my clutch at exactly 18,300mi. I now have 20,000mi. 2 years old, brand new out of the crate 05..... Yeah the whole replace the clutch thing kinda ticked me off, but I just assume that I get on the throttle and ride the twisties a bit more than most../ But still....darn...

dankrencisz · 09-08-2008, 01:47 AM

5500 for mine. It was a "last year's floor model" '06 I bought in June of '07.
I ride to work every day, rain or shine...942 miles a month!

Trigger1985 · 09-08-2008, 01:53 AM

2008 bought in June with 2700 miles.

womper · 09-08-2008, 02:49 AM

bought my 2006 on july 19th 2007 last year, it was brand new..

i have 20,500 miles on it now (33,000kms)

nativenyerintexas · 09-08-2008, 05:20 AM

Picked mine up from the dealer on June 5th, brand new. I just went over 3,500 miles on her last night. Didn't ride today because I was in too much pain. So I average over 1,000 miles a month so far. I'm sure that will decrease once the cooler weather gets here but since this is my only transportation, I'll have no choice when it comes to food shopping.

GeorgiaRoller · 09-08-2008, 09:58 AM

10,520 miles. Getting close to the 11,000 mile scheduled maintenance check up. Run's strong. Not one problem yet.

Alex022406 · 09-08-2008, 11:17 AM

2008 about 660, dont get to ride to much long distances with work and school all the time. But plan to change that !

jmckell · 09-08-2008, 11:24 AM

SnowMan29 · 09-08-2008, 12:55 PM
