[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1206176, member: 16241"] I don't know, and frankly neither does anyone else unless you take the engine apart and carefully examine the parts over time there is no way to "accurately" answer that question. Of course that won't stop any number of clueless "experts" from telling you otherwise. :) If you take a lot of engines apart, spend a lot of time examining parts and talking to the riders you can develop "reasonable" rules of thumb. That's what Eric Gorr does in his books. He takes the data from the engines we've pulled apart and does an excellent job of providing [b]general[/b] service intervals for non-racers. Anyone racing on a regular basis would be well advised to pay attention to the factory intervals. No disrespect meant to your Dad, but that tire at 80,000 miles has been environmentally hardened and in spite of showing tread, it won't work properly. It no longer has the characteristics it was designed with. It won't work properly in the rain, and won't carry the same side loads when it gets hot. Hardened tires don't show the same tread wear, but that doesn't mean they WORK. Lots of similarities here. ;) [/QUOTE]
