You are ready for both, repack the neck bearings with a grease gun. I changed the fork oil with SE but I'm going with BeyRay this time.

Just over 40K on my 13 Limited and just over 50K on my neighbors 13 Limited. Neither of us have had any issues. Unlike others I am hoping for some type of valve, cam or lifter issues under warranty so I can upgrade during the repair. Bikes covered until 2020 and I'm going to do my best to wear it out.

98,600 on my 03 RKC. Bought in 08 and put most the miles on. Had an all bore 107 done in 2014 @ 85K. Was going to do a 98" (from a day 1 95" cuz it began using just a smidge of oil and I wanted more power). Only mistake was not doing 117". She's been a little bit of an electrical gremlin as of late, but been running well for me. Hope to crack 150K on it.

2011 with 65k - all fluids at 5k with a greased (lucas red tacky) neck - forks at every 25k - bike runs strong and should have 100k in a year and a little...

Wow this is really good to read. Just curious, do you guys baby your bikes? My last bike was a 13 RK that had 30k miles when I traded it in. The bike ran like a champ! I would really like to get at least 80K miles on my current bike.

I would say that frequently I ride mine pretty hard.

I also think that I am very in tune with the bike and I don't let anything lapse. If I thinks it's making a weird noise or vibration, it is in the shop right away.
