I believe he's close to 180K now. He posts a lot on the CDC's political board, but I think he frequents a different forum as well. Anyway, i think we should throw a party for the first person (on the board) that hits 200K.

Duc 996, I have done most service myself since 7500 miles because dealer charged me over $1000 for that service. I have done oil changes, spark plugs, air cleaner, valve check/adjust with EMS kit and new belts at 15 and 30k. Plus I keep it pretty clean and that gives me a chance to look other things over while I'm cleaning. Done nothing to brakes or clutch besides change fluid check for wear. New chain and sprockets at 20k and getting ready to replace clutch for 1st time. The belts this time around I tried the exactfit belts ca cycleworks. They seem to be as good or better than OE for half the price. I think I have small oil leak behind cam drive pulley but doesn't seem too hard a fix but will let it be for now and see for sure where it's coming from. So far been pretty trouble free. Oh and the pile of tires that I've taken off it.

i'm curious.. at around how many miles does a 4valver need a rebuild after normal city riding? anyone know what the costs of something like that will run? I only have 17k on my 07 but I look to think ahead :)
