Hello all,
I am new to the forum and new to the world of smaller displacement bikes. I came from the liter bike scene and 600’s to the all mighty 400 I have now. I know I love this machine but I also pretty much live on it. Already done an 800 mile road trip do 200-300 mile trips quite often and am nearing the 5000 mile mark on this machine. I commute for work, fun, store runs it never stops lol.
Iam religious about oil changes and did a normal ride like normal break in. Did first oil/filter change at 250 miles then at a thousand and swap oil and filter out every thousand miles. But even with that being a smaller displacement bike, how long can this machine really last? I know it does freeway speeds just fine but those rpms are up there regardless. You smaller bike experts out there know better then me. Can these be a high mileage machine before giving up the ghost?
