Highest Mileage TE/SMR 449 or 511

~6500 kms (aus) as a weekday commuter and weekend dirt weapon. =)
45 tooth on the rear, EJK tuner and i couldn't ask for a better do-everything-go-everywhere bike

Me, I´d be interested in the number of oil & filter changes over a longer period of time. Soudojack ... was that really 8.5 miles per change?????

Before Zipty Tank, I use to blow a quart of oil out on my boots every 200 miles. What Oil changes

Hey yall, anyone break 10k miles on stock motor yet?

Just cracked 23000km, 2011 TE511, bought new Feb 2013. 47 tooth rear, just tyres, oil (Penrite HPR5) & filters, sprockets & chain. All good, no problems.

yup, just passed 10k on mine (45t sumo + dirt wheels). no valve adjustments 100% compression. these things seem to be rock solid as long as you feed them fresh oil =)

Wow! Motor still sealed up - ie not even a top end?

If so, that is VERY encouraging.

My TE449 has about 75hrs and 1000Ks (not miles) In Oz we get the full power motor, and I have been getting a little concerned as the manual says to replace the piston and crank at 80 hrs. It still goes like new, but blows a puff of smoke when you crack the throttle and the oil has a slight coppery tinge when I change it, the oil comes out pretty clean still, but I do have to clean a bit of crap off the sump plug magnet. I had a CRF250X for my son for a while and could only get about 40hrs out of a piston in that thing, so maybe I am being overly concerned.

I have 8,000 miles on my 12 TE449. 90% trail riding in the Mojave. No sign of stress on the engine or drive train.

'11 TE449 - 117 hrs, 3300km
95% hard forest riding/MX tracks - 5% road.
Uses no oil (Castrol power1 synthetic every 5hrs)
Valve clearances checked only, no adjustments needed.
Sweet

1700 miles so far so good...2013 te449

2013 TE449 not a problem one; 2896 miles and lots of oil changes

1100 miles of supermoto fun! lots of easy oil changes with my zip ty goodies.

have not touched my ducati hypermotard in months!

Wow, that's great. Maybe after I get mine fixed it'll last longer. Probably works better with oil in it anyway.

Um, question.
How do you do it up / undo it without taking off the anodising?

I've had to impact the stock one off before, they get tight from heat. No impact needed with the socket, pretty tough to strip that one out.
