Small bike, big mileage

Post by Bailey80808 » Sat Aug 26, 2023 3:17 pm

It'll be fun to know what have you got? Original engine? Original cylinder bore?

Not particularly high at 50Kkms/30K miles, 2006 Yamaha XT125R, not all my milage but pretty sure it's standard & runs fine if a little bit more rattly than new!
I'm guessing there's going to be some high miler's on here!

Altered title for you ๐Ÿ‘.

One of my Cubs:-
C90 - P a 1994 'N' reg. 81300+ miles
Original engine, never stripped.
Only sort of work:- clutch plates, exhaust valve, camchain etc.
Quite amazing for a small engine.
Regular oil changes!!!!!!!

Most of my other Cubs are in the 20, 30, 40,000
area
Cheers Andy.

My C90MG has allegedly had no engine work, certainly nothing in the last 10 years and 10,000 miles. It's getting slightly rattly now but is going better than ever, obviously due for a rebuild soon. :D

It's recovering from a few weeks intensive thrashing during which I took this pic in Holmfirth.
