i have 78,000 on mine and not a single problem (97 ace). change the oil and lube the exup valve (use a paddock stand and remove the side stand which are 3 M8 bolts, easy, when you remove the exup valve take care of the spacers which act as seals on the near and far side of the exup valve. as for an oil change, its just routine.
