Guest Crusty Posted August 22, 2011 Needs a surf board rack, panniers, and a smaller gas tank. That thing must get about 25 miles per gallon to need a tank that big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefin2na 0 Posted August 24, 2011 Is it true that after 10,000 mile you have to rebuild the motor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted August 24, 2011 Is it true that after 10,000 mile you have to rebuild the motor? Haha.. No.. On the RFS motors (450/525/etc) yes, about 10,000 miles is what you get out of the top end of those race-singles. The LC-8 is a totally different v-twin beast. My 2006 950 Adventure (exact same motor as the SE) has 19,000 miles and the valves haven't even needed adjustment yet. Oil change intervals are just under 5,000 miles, etc. FYI - I know the add-ons are tempting, but I've seen SEs new for right around $10,000 (past years models on the showroom floor - but zero miles, nobody has monkeyed with the emissions/quiet stock pipes/stock jetting/etc, never been dropped, etc).

My adventure calls for oil swap every 9K, 22k now and going strong. Love my new ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 288 Posted August 25, 2011 Bluefin, 950 no doubt a great street / fire road bike. Your lead says your bikes like to take a lot of naps. Can you pick up your KLR un-assisted? It took everything I had to pick up my 990, three times was my limit in a day. A guy needs to be an excellent rider to handle the SE/ADV offroad. When that big boy goes does down, it is a major event! If intended use is primarily street, it is indeed a Rush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
