I'm about to 4,000...I think about 3,800 last I looked...
I'll continue to ride mine all winter, but won;t be riding as much...mostly just my commute back and forth to work, won't be any long fun rides while it's cold....

You can update me to 13,000 miles. However, it will snow here on Wednesday, so I won't be racking up many more miles until next spring.

Huck, Detours,
Any issues with either of yours? My friend and I have none with ours. I'm really impressed. Most fun bike I've had in a while and the lowest power of them all go figure! |

I've went to the 13 tooth front sprocket, as I ride some rougher routes often, and the better bottom range is much more useful in slow rocky routes.

Except for the brake rotor, these are all minor assembly line issues. And the brake rotor was more annoying than anything. A series of hard stops in a parking lot nearly fixed the pulsing anyway. Mechanically, the bike is sound and a high quality design. The loose bolts were only on a few maintenance areas. If anything, the frame and engine bolts were over tightened at the factory.

If you change the engine oil regularly, and keep the valves adjusted, I'm confident these engines will last 100,000 miles, and more.

Yes, I change my engine oil every time the odometer records an even thousand miles. In this manner I don't forget to change the engine oil every 2,000 miles.
Zongshen builds excellent engines. I have only performed routine maintenance on my Zongshen ZS200GY-2, and it now has almost 70,000 miles on the odometer.

The naysayers don't realize that all Chinese motorcycles are not created equal. Zongshen has had superior quality control for many years, and has a serious commitment to improve it even further. My 2006 Zongshen ZS200GY-2 (Sierra) was manufactured to a higher standard than many other Chinese bikes of that time. In the nine years since then, Zongshen has only continued to improve quality control.

Now that we have reached the end of the year, any more people hit some milestones?
Danimal I think I remember you saying 4K on yours? |
