G'day John!
Mine ('06) has clocked up 56000km and the water pump mechanical seal let go at 55,000. Simple repair, but make sure you order the two water-pump gaskets as the same time - they will be stuffed. All other maintenance by the book and similar regime as yourself. Mine is all stock, but I have contemplated the KTM muffler swap and some springs and emulators for the front...
Have to agree that these are sooo reliable - mine is also still on its original battery too! Use E07's on mine and get 12,000km+ on rear and 20,000 out of the front. About 80/20 tar/dirt for mine (But I do prefer dirt) due to commuting duties.
Great bike - love it!
Cheers
Ian
