Nice post from Scar today on I-SHOC
With 231,500 +\- miles on Wasabi, I pause to estimate the cost of fuel I have put in her tank in her lifetime (8 years). I figure an average of 160 miles on a 5gal tankful (California spec model) X 1447 fills at an average of $16 per fill.
231,500 / 160 = 1447 X $16 = $23,152 in fuel.
Also, using roughly 5000 miles as an average lifetime for a set of tires, she has had 46 sets of tires on her over the 8 years she’s been on the road. Keep in mind she sat essentially un-used d...uring 2013/2014.
231,500 / 5000 = 46 sets X $330/set = $15,200.
For the first time since she left the factory, she got a new front axle nut (during her winter 2017/18 refurb), the original has now served beyond it’s design intention.
She looks great for her service, no? Yes!
I hope your winter upgrades/mods are coming along nicely, too.

We should address the fact riding keeps us young ~ not how many miles we ride them, we feel good riding *

I have asked him . Several starter clutches, stator . Oil n tires lots of them
Valve checks started at normal intervals, but never out of spec . So if I remember right he started waiting longer to check them . Still with no issues. If you want his phone number I can pm it to you .
