Subject: life of an @: eternal
Depends on how U use your baby:
I did several desert trips with it (offroad/dunes).
result:
clutch parts (springs, 'basket') used up
clutch pads still acceptable
oil pump chain worn out
brakes slightly damaged by fine sand/mud
of course: bearings
but -right!- nuthin in respect to the engine...
hope it goes on like that!!!
presently about 100.000 km, RD07 '93
...running and running...
