Title: Expected engine life
Post by: Aceluck on March 19, 2004, 06:50:13 AM
I am curious, at around what mileage does the GS's engine typically start to need rebuilding?
Thanks

Our GS has over 16K and it still makes great compression and hasn't needed its valves adjusted.

From what I've read who knows where,  but The average is between 30k and 60k depending on how, where you ride and how well you keep up on the maintenance etc...
