Meat Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Just to add to the conversation...... I have 13,000 plus miles on my stock Rz and its supposedly on its original rings and pistons. I had 130psi in both juggs last year around this time. Bike runs 100%, I ride it everyday and regulary run it up to 100mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) sorry blue but i think you are mistaken. you can log that many hours on a shee if it taken care of.. 423579[/snapback] im sorry im not sure what "taken care of means" i have fresh oil, fresh 118 octane fuel and a clean air cleaner, but when i race i do hold my she pinned for the entire race, does taken care mean i haul it out to the dunes and go up a hill or 2, then go fetch more beer?........im confused to.........
