Default Engine Reliablity.... How far will it go

I have about 25k miles on my bike and i was wondering how many more miles you think i would get out of it.

Its not stunted. I go Fast but not drag racing.

The bike is basically stock with the exception of a dyna 2000 and jet kit with after market header and exhaust.


what yall think?

I bought my bike with 4500 miles on it and now have 28000 and it runs better now than it did then I think. You may think that is crazy, but it's the truth. (99 by the way) I dont see any reason a well taken car of bike wont reach 100k. My dad has 70,000 on his 78 KZ1000 Z1R. Runs great. I have heard astranomical mileage on sport bikes. Most get wadded up is why you never hear of it very often. It'll keep going, fear not.

I've seen cbr900rr engines with over 40k..... Just make sure you do the valve adjustments according to spec and check the tension on the timing chain.... other then that, you have more likelyhood of a bad voltage regulator, stator, or battery before the engine goes unless you do heavy, looong wheelies.... if you look around, the bearing on the crank usually goes because of lack of oil when doing looong wheelies.

I was at the dealership today with my cylinder heads for work, I asked the repair guy if my 1998 20,000 mile machine will last. He said that a stock cycle can go up to 150,000 on the same crank. I assume that the carbs and gaskets will need replacing at some time. I'm replacing all my hoses and cooling system O ring seals as I put it back together.

Ride on Dude.

take into account that the motors for the 900rr's arent that expensive, I would get you a decent 919cc motor for a spare, go through it and rebuild/refresh it, and let it sit until your motor takes a dump. I've always either got a spare motor or a spare bike just incase the worst of the worst happens. I dumped my 929 on a fun run, and called the wife to bring the trailer. I rolled out the other 929 and loaded my wrecked one up so I didn't have to call it quits. The key to staying on the road is keeping the much needed parts on hand.
