Divvy mileage concern for reliability..

[sidewinder]

Hi all
My divvy 600 (97)is fast approaching 40,000 mls on the clock but running sweet as a nut.Have had a few people say the engines only good for 50,000 before problems start to come in there droves.This concerns me as i'm now thinking i have to change the bike before it starts costing to much to keep going.Is there any truth in this or will it be good for a lot more mileage yet..Cheers for any input guys

Good for a lot more mate, think I mentioned before about a work mate who has 80k plus on his, just serviced regular, oil change every 4k and so on. Its a bullet proof engine, only changed mine as the ER6 came up at a too good to miss price. If your after a change for your own reasons now is a good time with bike prices on the up ready for summer, but on the flip side you could end up paying more for its replacement.

Cheers for the replys guys.Made me a lot happier looks like the old girl has a lot more to give then.It was a cost i did not need after being made redundant.

Keep it maintained, don't abuse it, fix when you need to. It's in a soft state of tune, air cooled, easy to work on - I'd think the bodywork/bearings/suspension will go before the engine does


Even if everything got lunched a replacement engine with 21k on the clock is £200 :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XJ600-Diversion-92-engine-good-condition-12923-/350474841585?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item5199edadf1
