I clocked 35000 Miles on my 09 last week in a total of 6 months riding.

The Rectifier died at 17000. No real issue, it had been running heated gloves and jackets for ages so i dont blame it for giving up on me.
The rear spokes have all come loose recently too. I didnt notice for ages as i was doing alot of dirt,snot and gravel up the Dalton and Top of the world highways.
And thats it !!!
Not bad i reckon for the crap ive put it through.

Just out of interest, how have you managed to rack up so many miles in such a short time?

wow that must be the highest recorded for a Ten well done what problems have you had in that time ? it must be a long commute

Niek	12-09-11 08:55

85km one way.

Problems so far:
- short in wire to fuel pump under the tank
- rectifier plug
- bold of balancing weight came loose
- bearing of link toasted
- bearing in sprocket carrier has play->chain wears too much
- cush drive wears excessively (lot of inner tube used to overcome this problem).
Probably this is connected to the problem above.

It consumes 1L oil every 2500-3000km, when this increases more I will have to do some repairs (valve seals and piston rings probably).

As a comparison; here's my score

40km one way, 55.000km's so far

Problems so far:
- short in wire to fuel pump under the tank same here
- rectifier plug
- bold of balancing weight came loose
- bearing of link toasted same here
- bearing in sprocket carrier has play->chain wears too much same here
- cush drive wears excessively (lot of inner tube used to overcome this problem). same here
Probably this is connected to the problem above.
- rear wheel bearings replaced over here
- Silencer replaced by LeoVinces: cat was gone and crack became a gap

It consumes 1L oil every 2500-3000km, 1L to 10.000 over here when this increases more I will have to do some repairs (valve seals and piston rings probably).

More parts were replaced due to multiple crashes and relentless abuse but only limited to:
- handlebar
- left and right mirror
- LH rear indicator
- brake pedal
- clutch lever
- wind shield
- headlight fairing
- RH hard case

... so you might say the Ten is quite durable even thought the finishing/built quality isn't what you'd expected ....

I wonder: has this kind of mileage ever been covered by any other XT660Z ... worldwide.... or any XT660R/X?

If not ... I would like to nominate Niek for the Distinguished Mile Munch Order in the first degree:

100km/u would have been nicer :)

Well done! Good to see XTs with high mileage! i hope you don't mind if I'll enter it on the "your mileage" thread.

At my current rate I need another 5 years to reach The Big Moment. :blob8:
