I've been through a couple of sets of wheel and sprocket carrier bearings, a few sets of cush rubbers, a few chain and sprocket sets, a couple of sets of steering bearings, three gear levers and some of the rear linkage bearings by 37,000 miles. And the clutch is slipping.

However, my bike has been, erm, well-used.

On something that's primarily been used on tarmac, I'd check all the chassis bearings, but not expect there to be any issues. Engine will be fine.

Might be worth checking the gear lever. They wear loose and rattle on the spline, which does eventually wear the spline on the selector shaft.

Edit: And if it's still got the original shock in, it will be knackered.
