Hi All 08 ninja 250r owner

Hi all, I found this website long time ago but just registered today. I live in Alhambra, CA. I bought my 08 ninja 250r in 2008 with 800 miles (I am 2nd owner). I have used this bike for commute and now I got 63,000 miles on it. The bike is still running good and I am planning to keep it for another 20,000 miles. I would like to share my experiences with you.

Welcome.
If you don't mind me asking, what is making you plan to keep it for the next 20k miles? What I mean is, why'd you decide that 83k miles is your limit with it?

The Ninja 250 engine has a typical lifetime of about 50k-60k miles. Someone had an engine last 88k miles. So I think 80K is the limit.

I got a nail on my rear tire recently I thought I should change the tire so I bought a new tire online. Later I found out the tire is not leaking (or leaking extremely slow). So I didn't change the tire. I don't want to waste my new tire and would like to keep my ninja for at least 2 more years.
