what is the experience, with servicing and replacing parts?
I'm at 30k miles, and my transmissions just got an overhaul.
At the oil change, it was discovered that metal fell out of the drain.
I was also told by another friend to replace the lifters at 40k, otherwise the engine might get killed.
Do you guys do a scheduled replacement of parts at specific intervals, or whenever something breaks?
I usually wait till they break, unless its the cam chain tensioner or primary chain tensioner. I replaced my primary tensioner at 25K with a Hayden. Next up is the cam chain tensioners.
Took the LR to work today and tried the new helmet. I replaced a Shoei Quest with the RF-1200. Very quiet and comfortable. Love the red stripe and accent matching the color on the bike and stitches on the bags.
The bags though... Conely's gen 3. What a nightmare. Bought them back in April and today was the first time I could use them. They were hitting the swingarm on both sides... Had to fix it without Conely's help. I like how they work and look but it was not worth the hassle.
Next upgrade, LED headlight.

can I ask why at this particular mileage?
