33,000 miles, probably not the most miles put on the 96" with a 6 speed. However, I have only had the 1000 mi service done by the dealer, after that I have just changed the oils and filter and keep the nuts and bolts tight. I will be checking my cam chain tensioner here soon.

I ride it for 12 and 15 hour stretches going to Santa Fe NM. with no problems.

Hope that helps.

Now it runs like a new bike again but is much more powerful than stock. Still, pretty much, trouble free, other than normal maintenance, and I am still getting 43 mpg, 2-up, and can stretch 50 1-up being nice to it, (of course that is if I'm niiiice to it, which I'm usually NOT)
