Wie robust sind unsere Güllepumpen?

Reg, the engine is still the one that came with the bike and still has the original bore and pistons but the following main wear items have been replaced:

Cam chains; 96250km @ Mar 1995
147000 @ Dec 1999
214600 @ May 2008

New std piston rings @ 147000 + big end bearings (might as well while apart)
New piston rings again @ 214600 with the cam chain but used oversized rings regapped to fit the std bore which was still within tolerance and with no lip on the bore. Big end bearings not replaced and the main bearings felt so good left them alone.

Engine valves replaced @ 209165 but valve guides are still original

The stator burnt out @ 172400 in Mar 2002 but the locally rewound unit is still going well.

Water pump seals were replaced at each engine strip as a precaution.

The camshaft was found to be pitted at the 147000 service and was replaced with a new one.

Both wheel bearing sets have been replaced twice, the steering head replaced with taper roller bearing but the swing arm bearings are original and unworn thanks to careful maintenance.

The fork seals are still original and the main oil seal in the rear drive has been replaced twice.
Pro Link bushes and pins replaced once.

The starter clutch bits have been replaced and I thought they were starting to give trouble again a few years ago when the bike began to make a "clunk" as the motor stopped. As I pulled the crankcases apart on the bench I heard something fall as the cases came apart and found a screw on the bench. It came from one the rotor magnets in the flywheel and all the rest had started to come loose so all were Loctited and that fixed the noise problem.

I'm on the third rear disk with the latest bought from Metalgear and quite a good unit.

Now using a Hagon rear shock which has been very good but has just started to leak.

The exhaust system is still original but only because I periodically fill the mufflers with old engine oil and suffer the mess and smoke that results.
