In Norway 40000miles is not considered to be a high mileage.
TA is known in Norway for reaching a high mileage before a rebuild is necessary. One magazine took a part an engine done 200 000km (120 000miles) and everything was at factory spec.
It is recommended to use OEM oil filter, because some bikes have experienced premature engine wear because of cheap and bad filters.
It is also recommended that cam chains should be changed at 100 000km (60 000miles).
Do a god job servicing her, god filtration of both oil and air is vital for engine life. Oiled foam should give the best filtration, but frequent washing and re-oiling is important. K & N air filter is not recommended, by several sources.
Have your compression checked, that will give you the state of the engine.
