Depends on how it's adjusted and how you ride. Worst case would be the next time you dump the clutch or it may go 100k with normal driving. Once the hp goes up, life goes down. No real definate figure on these things.

As others have said, stock bike, easy riding, belt guards in-place, no stones, adjust to spec. etc. should be good for 80k/100K miles. Up the HP and TQ, twist the throttle harder, dump the clutch, do burn outs, remove your belt guards, ride on dirt roads regularly, etc. and you could snap it tomorrow.
