100k Miles on a 2012 Ninja 250!!

https://youtu.be/U58YdYPFN4o

So I hit 100k Miles on my 2012 ninja 250 back in March.

This bike is ridden about 300 miles a week on average on the freeway to and from work 70-85mph.

Still running pretty good considering. Original motor and clutch. I think I am out of adjustment on the timing chain tensioner.

Had to replace the throttle cable due tie it snapping on the freeway at 51k miles.

Low beam bulb replaced once. High Beam still original.

Oil Changed every 3-5k with Rotella T6 and valves done about every 15-20k by me.

Been through probably about 5 chains, 4 front brake pads, 2 front sprockets, 3 rear sprockets I think.

Original front rotor, but it does need to be changed with next brake pad change.

Original rear pads and rotors but I hardly ever use them. But also, the rear brakes don't work anymore and I think there is a leak where air gets into the system and I have to bleed the air out, but that only works for about a month or 2 before I have to do it again. Probably needs a rebuild.

I think I'm on my 3 or 4 front tires and twice the amount for the rear tires.

With regular use and maintenance, these bikes will last a long time.

But I am gonna pick up a 400 soon and put another 100k on that too!

I haven't really been riding much the past few weeks, but my odometer right now says 1613!!
