Default How many miles to expect out off an 03 R1???

Well maintained, not road real hard... How many miles should I expect before I have to do a rebuild?

well over fifty thousand. If you ride it easy and do your maintenance. Actually there are some ones with document plus 100k miles.

If you do everything you are supposed to do to it and are not racing it will last for a very very long time.

he did 288k miles, only things he replaced was plugs, ONE clutch, plugs, oil, tires, and adjusted the vavles a few times. compression was way down compared to when he first checked it, but still ran perfectly fine and never gave him issues.

28K+ miles and still kicking.. on mine.. and i know for the fact the last 15k+ were all race beat the shit out of miles..

if ur going to run it hard.. then u need to do so from day one.. if u baby it then beat it, it wont last.. if u beat it then keep beating it hard.. mahah

but really just keep on top of everything.. like i check my bike once a week.. change the oil every 2 weeks, plugs once a months, air filer cleaning once a month(kn).. keep ur tire psi in spec. chain lubed, keep everything clean, lubed.. cables, lever,pegs, kick stand ex ex
