40K miles so far - how many miles will a 1330 engine RT last?

Engine/drivetrain-wise, it should last well over 100k miles if you keep up with the maintenance.

It's the other stuff you need to worry about ....

Wow, SpyderAnn, my hero. What a rider she is.

As far as I know. No one has worn out a 1330. Nor have I heard of a 998 being worn out for that matter. Take care of a Spyder and it will take care of the rest.

Got your moneys worth out of it.

What about Normal expendable items... How many belts? Plugs? Brake fluid and coolant changes? What oil at what frequency? What tires? Other incidentals....

Sorry, not a hijack attempt -- I just wonder how you did it!

That is very true. I am glad you said that.

Well Buckeye Chuck 54 wore His 1330 out at about 218,000 miles in Oct. 2022. He mentioned something about a valve?! .... Mike :thumbup:

Since this is a resurrected 2017 thread when Ann mentioned 100,000, I wonder what she is up to now, 6 years later? ;)

Pete

I have a 2015 F3-S SE6 1330 with just over 92000 miles. Only problem I've had is the front sprocket.

:oldpost: . Just a reminder that up until SpyderAnn's post #24 from back in what, March 2017, this thread had gone nearly 6 years without a post.... :lecturef_smilie:

So SpyderAnn has probably done a lot more miles since :ohyea: Altho I reckon she may have also changed bikes in the meantime too!? :dontknow:

That said, we have a number of Spyders here in Oz with over 150,000 miles up, at least a couple of them being 1330 powered too! So it's pretty safe to say that given basic care & maintenance, these things are likely to last a loooong time!! :thumbup:
