How many total miles do most folks put on their machines? I would like to know how many long people ride their machines before they become onreliable or unsafe.

 

I have a 97 KQ.I have a total of 1200 give or take a few miles on it.not realy that many .I do put it in the shop once a year for a general check up,but do most of the maintenance myself.

 

My t wolve does not have a mile thing but i have went through 6 sets of front ires and 9 sets of back. thats alot

 

My father in-law met a guy last month in South Dakota who put 7,000 miles on a Grizzly over two years on his 8000 acre farm. Sopposedly the crank shaft broke at that point and he finally retired the Grizz. He now has a new one which he let my father in-law use for a day while visiting. He said the Grizz must have had 200 lbs of tools and stuff on the racks when he used it. When asked how he liked the Grizz he replied, it steered kind of hard. Gee wonder why..

My dad has a 87 Suzuki 300 Quadrunner with 3,500 miles on it.Still runs good.

 

One of my riding parterner has a Honda 450s with 2200 miles. I have 470 miles.

 

I've got 5250 on my 98 Blaster. Not bad for 2 years.

 

I can only estimate miles on my 88 Honda 300 because it had no speedometer. But I currently average 1300 to 1500 on my present quad (with a speedometer.) So after owning it for 7 years I believe it had somewhere in excise of 8 to 9000 miles. (Conservatively) I still had complete faith in it as much as the day I bought it when I sold it. In fact I sold it to a friend of mine at work and he still owns it. I still perform all the maintainance on it for him and it is still in pretty good shape.
Your post also got me thinking about TOTAL miles on ATV's. I bought my first Honda 90 three wheeler in 1976. I rode the wheels off that and all the other ones I have had since. Twenty-four years of riding at 1300 to 1500 miles per year would be over 30,000 miles logged. (Another conservative estimate because in my youth I had more time to ride than I do now)
I would be interested in hearing other rider mileages. Anybody else?

 

Now that I think of it I know a guy that put 10,000 on a Suzuki 185 3 wheeler.That was about 5 yrs. ago.I havn't heard from since.

 

I range around 2000 miles per yr.===Bill
