Default Engine Rebuild
I currently have 83000 Miles on my 06 St Bob. Was wondering when I should be looking to rebuild the engine, and replace the normal wear components?

My bike still runs great, just as long as I change the oil every 5k miles.

I wouldn't rebuild unless something breaks that requires a rebuild. If it holds compression and passes a leak down test I would not touch it, unless you really just want to rebuild it.

Take it to a 100,000 and then test the compression
