Mileage

[zevulun]

I'm kinda jealous of y'all with low mileage kats... my 06 has 35,537 on it and not a single mile has been put on it by me yet

low mileage on a bike, especially a carbureted one, isn't all that great. it means the bike sits a lot. sitting a lot for something with carbs leads to things settling and eventually gumming up the carbs.

your bike isn't even fully broke in yet....

Mine is at just 0ver 60K now. so 35K is almost like new.

I just bought a '92 600 with 34K miles. Everything has tested well. Compression is all over 150 PSI. I just fully rebuilt the carbs. What kind of life can I expect from this engine?

we've seen a few kats here go over 100K with no major issues...

That's good to know. I won't expect to have to do any major work to the motor then. If I take care of it, it will take care of me.

I sold my 2001 750 last year and I put 78,000+ miles on it.

No issues with it during that time. Well none that were Suzuki related.

bought mine last year with 9 k on it . now at 21+ its still behaving . it could use a clutch cable adjustment . replaced tires and a battery,,,, that's it . my kat is a commuter mostly . I say that going to work every day is just something to do between rides.
