    I suggest use 98 when ever you can get, actually less expensive & better for the motor (buying energy not volume)

    Check your spark plugs gap or replace them. Also check engine mounts and bolt torque.

    Just turned over 30,000 miles last week. Running eruption mod that has not been negated by ecu. Been through 3 sets of rear brake pads, 3 chains and sprocket sets, 3rd set of tires, 2 clutch cables. No problems other than those routine maintenance ones.

    3 sets of brake pads and chains with sprockets? I am at 18k miles and just thought about first set of rear brake pads with rotors. Are you changing the rotors when you change the pads? Also did you replace the cush rubber? Do you clean and reoil the chain every 300-500 miles? Trying to figure out why your bike eats chains, sprockets, and pads lol.

    30K miles on only 3 sets of tires? What are you running?

    I get about 9k miles out of the sahara rear tires. About 13k out of the front tire. Could maybe push 14k in the front tire but the rear completely gone. Trying the Mitas E-07 rear to see if gets 10k. Range has been 9300 to 12300 miles.

    Ran stockers then k60's then some shinkos and on pirellis. But just put them on about 3,000 ago. Liking the MT90's best so far.

    I finally found the pin that goes through the pads was bent enough to not let the pads retract all the way off rotor. I ride in a lot of dirt and dust and don't wash unless I am working on something. Put a homemade oiler on and hoping that helps. Cush rubber is still fine. Same rotor.

    If you have the Strada, the stock Tourance EXPs or whatever they're called seem to last quite a while. The rear on mine is sitting on 12,5k miles and probably has 2k miles left in it.

    That's with abuse/light off road and more higher speed riding than is responsible.

    I run a Scottoiler, (my previous Scottoiler on my ZRX1100 (seriously modified) my chain & sprockets lasted 108,000klms)
    At 16,600klms, my front & rear pads & discs look good
    Clutch cables, in theory, last for years & years
    I fitted an upmarket RK x-ring chain prior to my Birdsville trip, I think that the original chain was of marginal quality
    About to do valve clearances & plugs - I see there's been some discussion on suitable plugs
    With the airbox out will tidy-up my Pod-mod

    I'm looking at the 07's to replace my K60 rear, not yet decided on front (Karoo 3 currently)

    I replaced my Sahara front at about 5,000klms I couldn't live with continual "wash-outs" on anything that resembled dirt, changed the rear at 6,000klms for the K60 just before my Birdsville trip

    Doing 20,000 klms service, what an "interesting" task, getting the rocker cover off - clearances all good

    I had my valves checked at 47,500km. One has a slightly larger gap than spec & the other 3 are still well within spec. The valve shims haven't been adjusted since I bought the bike home. Looks like they are pretty much 'set and forget'.
