Good bikes.
It's funny how different bikes wear. I had to do my cam chain recently at only 40k miles. The chain was noisey and tensioner was on it's last click and when I took the chain out it had a few slightly stiff links. I also had to do the valve clearances.
Other than that it's all been the usual service stuff. One chain and sprocket set, clutch plates and springs as it was slipping, clutch cable, fork seals, bushings and fork oil, one set of front pads, two sets of rear pads, a rear brake disk, rear brake seals, brake fluid a few times, oil and filter a few times, coolant a few times, one set of spark plugs, a battery, front wheel bearings and seal, cleaned the carbs a few times, it had a k&n air filter when I got it so I've cleaned that a few times, welded and painted the exhaust, it had new tyres on it when I bought it so I've only put one set on it. Not too bad really.
