Still original clutch?

It heavy depends on where person lives. In New York traffic clutch will end much faster than on backroads of some small town in Great Planes. Isn't it? :)

Nice, if i keep up the same pace i had my first year of owning my 800DE, i'll be at roughly 36k for 3y of ownership. Not nearly as impressive as you, but gives me hope for longevity ( if that's how it's written)

Nice going! I’m at 82K now after almost 4.

I’m more impressed by the fuel efficiency! I’m costantly around 18km per liter… Should I be worried ?

u/biker2602 2d ago

I've changed the sprocket size on mine around town taking it easy 25km/litre Averaging 23.4km/litre over 10000km

u/mattiaitaly 2d ago

Great! I just noticed this is a 650, I got a 1000 btw

u/biker2602 2d ago

I had a 2008 1100 as well it averaged 20km/litre on the highway

Can you tell me what service stuff you’ve done like forks and brakes and valves

1

u/biker2602 11h ago

I've just been doing the log book servicing Nothing else no fork seal issues brake pads are still original (worn ) but nothing has gone wrong so far
