I only have 6.3K on my '02 ZREX. I just rescued it in March from someone who didn't appreciate it. Looking forward to putting 80K on it though. |

I just cracked 40K on the old Connie last week. Most I've ever put on a bike in 4 years.
She's a good bike....a damn good bike, but sometimes the weight and the crappy suspension and limited tire choices get really old.

When mine grenaded she had 141k on the clock. Replace that rear shock and put some Progressive springs in the forks and let her go!!! And if you hear a paint can rattle on cold startup get a new cam chain tensioner in her QUICK! I've officially had the ST 1 year and sitting at 6k.....Time to take some vacation! |

OEM or that manual one?? Just curious. Thanks. No issues sofar. At all, other than a shot front wheel bearing which is common from my understanding. Thought I had a J-Box issue but it was worn/shorting farkle wiring draining my battery. |
