It's done about 65k, but it's probably partly my own fault.
When I got the 24k service done it cost me the best part of £1000 because, for some reason, the valves were tight instead of loose and (although I can't prove it) I'm sure the workshop charged me for the time it was sitting on the bench whilst they were contacting Yamaha and trying to figure out what went wrong. I just never went back there.
When it got up to around 48k I was planning on starting to look at doing my own maintenance and working up to things like checking valve clearances, but I've had a lot of stress and hassle over the past couple of years and that just got forgotten about
So it may be that it was something that could have been sorted if only...
