So once in 100k you will have to open the crank case. Or simply eBay a motor for about 300 and pop it in. I wish my car was this reliable.
BTW, I have 20k and my motor is clean enough to lick inside. If your into licking motor parts that is.

im finding the same on my bike. THe motor is pretty reliable, but i really would like the internals to be a more durable. I think with other motors i have had a st1100 with 125k miles it didnt need anything, my st1300 had 73k, yamaha r1 had 71k , speed triple 75k.. etc.. never had to do any motor work on those.
