b4 life expectancy.

It is concerning that the service intervals in the manual end at 24k...

What sort of mileage have folks gotten from their little bandits?

Thanks

I'm at 30K plus.

-Multiple track days

-Multiple crashes

-Multiple trips to 14K on the revs.

If you take care of the bike, it will be fine.

I'm about at 31k.  Starting to burn a bit more oil but I'm attributing that to 21 year old valve seals.

Currently at 56000. Hasn't missed a beat yet. (knock on wood)
It does use a bit of oil.. I reckon 1L/3000KM?

Hi from France,

This is my first post by the way.

I got mine more than 1 year ago but spent time to review almost all settings. It has not seen a mechanic for a while and not since then. I even learned how to make the sync by myself with a home-made tool. Unfortunately, I have no idea of the bike history before 2008.
 
It had 66500 km when I got it and now has 69000 km (I passed this mileage today!). I does not consume oil, and only 5.3L/100 km (sorry, not familiar with gallons and miles per gallon). Anyway, this seems to be really reliable but as I said, I do not know its history, so maybe, the engine has been rebuilt already.

Bye.

"I does not consume oil, and only 5.3L/100 km" ???  That seems like a lot of oil.

[bdouvill]

Sorry, I meant 5.3L/100 km for the gas consumption, which is I assume not bad. But maybe I'm wrong...

= 46.12 MPG, a little better than I get.

I had 50k on my B4 before I wiped the sucker out. Still going strong 'till the end.
