Hi, not sure what sort of mileage people are covering but i tend to put a fair amount of miles on my work bike (about 35,000 - 40,000 per year) so i thought i'd run a thread on my bike as the mileage goes up. currently running a 2009 xt660z tenere as a work hack, bought new in june 2009 after selling my 1050 tiger (long story). it has the genuine yamaha luggage incl top box, the ali bash plate, centre stand and hand guards. i've fitted a scotoiler and a autocom and a set of leo vince cans.
I have carried out oil and filter changes myself at 600, 3000, 6000, and 9000 miles and have replaced the rear tyre at 8000 miles and the rear brake pads at 7500 miles and the front tyre at 10500 miles
The local dealer has just carried out the crankcase breather modification under warranty.
i'm getting around 65 mpg and so far not a single (!) problem.

Excellent Im looking forward to reading the threaed as it continues.

Be interesting to hear how the bike gets on with what equates to many years mileage for most people condensed into a short period of time.

just carried out the 12000 service myself - oil & filter, plug and air filter. everything else checked, lubed and adjusted - didnt bother with the valves as it starts on the button and runs smoothly, I will do them at the 24000 service. all ok so far, no corrosion or problems. off to Germany in a few hours so should be pilling on the miles and knocking its resale value into the ground!!!! pmsl.

Nice to have someone else who'll be doing consistently higher milage than myself (21k miles so far, 25k ish annually).

Similar to you however I've not really had any problems and I've hear of the old XT doing 100k so wo should be good for a few years yet. Personally I think it took 15k miles or so to fully run it in

My '09 blue Ten is a courier bike. 18,000 miles since end of March and only just changed the original front tyre! (still about 2mm tread left) Rear changed at 12,000 miles; chain & sprockets at 17,000! Constantly getting 63-65mpg. Worst was about 58mpg - best so far has been 70mpg. It'll chuff along at motorway speeds on half throttle. Came back from Milton Keynes to Guildford on reserve once (about 70 miles). Then the next day came back from Towcester (another 15-20miles) on reserve!
ROCK ON!
