4k services (book is something daft like 3,750 so I picked an easy number).
Three chain & sprocket sets with a sprocket carrier bearing every time.
Endless tyres & brake pads.
Front discs after I warped them due to seized callipers.
Fork seals, twice as the pattern parts were s
t & lasted a week.
New seat after the foam collapsed.
Fuel filter because it blocked & limited the bike to 50-55mph.
TPS, broke.
Oil cooler replaced when the original cracked (normal fault on these around 50k).
Two sets of steering bearings, last done about 88k.
Quite a few levers from throwing it on the floor.
That's about it really, it just tends to work & work.
Have you had it from new ? Three chain & sprocket sets with a sprocket carrier bearing every time.

I forgot to answer gwm earlier, no shocks changed. They are a weak spot as it seems you know, but it already had xgayr ohlins on when I got it and theyve never given an issue.

If you click on the pic, you can read what happened last time I did a wheelie on an LC in the 80s..I didnt even realise they was trying to stop me until they pulled up behind me, at home..happy days..
Awesome! I remember that Jacket and bike like yesterday- I gotta say like the bellypan on that LC - One for yours?

Podman, you must be around the 50 years of age doing a wheelie on a 350cc 30 plus year old bike.
People half your age on a 1000cc bike can't do that.
Not quite up to your standard & im heading that way ...47 next birthday..looks a bit scary in writing but on the bike, I dont feel any older than I did when I was 16..another great thing about bikes.People half your age on a 1000cc bike can't do that.
Yes 996, belly pan is on the agenda for it..seamless box? Why dont you just ask them to swap the whole motor over for an RCVs? I bet it would be better on fuel anyway!

Not been out on the LC for a few weeks and getting withdrawal symptons..with a family holiday looming, it was today or not for another couple of weeks.
Took it out of the garage, looked at the sky, pushed it back into the garage, gave it a clean n fettle, 10 mins later, the sun come out, pushed it back out of the garage, fetched my lid...and it pissed down..
I wanna see a wheelie picture with Blue smoke coming out of the exhausts.Took it out of the garage, looked at the sky, pushed it back into the garage, gave it a clean n fettle, 10 mins later, the sun come out, pushed it back out of the garage, fetched my lid...and it pissed down..
