Author Message   Xb9rski Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 10:29 am:        On Friday night, 24 March 2006 I passed 50K. I now have 50120 miles on the XB. Yes I know it's my second engine blah, blah, blah. It's still seat time though. Just think where I would have been if I didn't spend 11 months in Okinawa. Anyone heard from the guy in Ohio that bought the XB with 50 on it?? "Ride it till it seizes" Ski   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 10:39 am:        Well, I can't compete with you for 50K, but I now have 27,400 miles on my City X. Only bad thing that has happened to it was the stator, which now has a new one replaced under warranty. So now I gotta put some miles on it to get to 30K before I leave for basic.   Chadhargis Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 10:46 am:        Second motor! Before 50k!! Yikes! What happed that you had to have a new motor?   Xb9rski Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 01:53 pm:        - 30321 miles,(16 Apr 04) Took into dealership for the oil leaks, they found that my oil pump was cracked. Ordered new one and applied sealent to stop the leak(temp fix). - 30344 miles,(18 Apr 04) piston rod broke in half and came disconnected from lower end. Warranty buying new engine. Had to replace the swing arm and all oil lines also due to all the metal fragments. Down for approx 3 weeks.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 03:24 pm:        Have 87,550.1 miles as of the last ride on my 97 S3T and the TOP END HAS NEVER BEEN OFF !!!   Spike Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 03:57 pm:        You rock! I think we should come up with a t-shirt or something for the 1st XB to hit six figures. Mine has a mere 21k miles.   Xb9rski Posted on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 - 05:05 pm:        I would have had 100k by December if I hadn't gone to Okinawa for a year.

I have only 2500 miles on it.   Kcfirebolt Posted on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 - 09:22 am:        Congrats on 50K. I had a year to catch you but couldn't do it. 40,200 miles here. If things slow down around here, I'm hoping to break 50K by the end of the summer.   Xb9rski Posted on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 - 11:35 am:        Rohaianan, Yes in the Corps. Last year, I retire in 10 months.

It has only had the primary case cover off to replace the stator at 20K.   Xb9rski Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 - 10:52 am:        Good job Viros, Looks like I have a lot of you guys nipping at my heals, I better stop riding the RC51 unless need be, that will give me some room to breathe a little...LOL Ski
