I started to think the other day, "where have you been " I've tried to post a photo but it's always too big. Those maxi scoots...lol
So I've reached only 60,000 kms. 37282.272 miles...anyone else up there...?
 
Hi -
I have a 2015 C650GT with 32,700 miles. Had the timing chain tensioner updated to hydraulic version a while ago. Maybe this update has helped keep it running longer
 
Good to see I'm not alone. Yes the hydraulic chain tensioner made a big difference. Tires seem to be my next concern. 15" are not the norm any more, up here in Canada...lol
 
Tires , yes always a challenge due to the 15" rim . Have used the Michelin Pilot 4 recently & really like it , but the price is getting kinda ridiculous

Found Bridgestone tire that might be decent . Not sure how long they last . Look for Bridgestone Battlax SC2 . They also make a SC2 Rain model if you ride in wet conditions more .

I found this tire on Ebay for a good price $200 for the rear & $110 front , but not sure what choices you have in Calgary Canada

good luck on tire shopping ...

Hi,
2013 GT standing on 57000. Got it second hand so not sure if it was trouble free. Running nicely since I bought it.
