wow.  is that miles or km?  mine is miles.  your butt must be either sore or made of kevlar.   

Yep just got my valves adjusted and plugs replaced for the first time ever right around 22,800 miles. I put about 2000-3000 miles a month on my bike. It's mostly freeway miles and I have a +2 front sprocket which keeps revs down. This meant that even after 23,000 miles only one of my valves was out of spec and only .002" at that. So I think I'm ok for extended valve adjustments. My commute is 40 miles/day for weekends for work and 30 miles/day weekdays for work this is 365 days a year rain or shine. I even led my motorcycle club to a ride to Vegas and back in one day and we took the long way there from LA, it was the iron butt Vegas brunch 750 miles in one day. I can basically sit on the saddle for 8 hours before any sort of fatigue even begins to set in and can push it to 14+ if needed. I've only been riding 6 years and amassed more than 200,000 miles few hundred of those riding a grey market Aprilia RS250 in Connecticut through snow
