![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted to put new tires on so they were both fresh and matched mileage again. So overall tire wear on this 963 pound motorcycle is very good. The rear tire could have gone farther as it still had 4/32 tread on it. Tire wear is exceptional I changed the tires at 18,851 miles on the odometer the front tire was original and could have went over 20,000 miles with no problem, the Rear tire had 15,560 miles on it as it was changed due to a screw in the tire at 3,291 miles. I did the valve clearance check myself as it is about a four hour job for the do it yourself person the first time you do it, after that you could likely get that down to about three hours. I did check the valves at 16,000 miles and they were in spec, unless the valves get noisy I will not open up the valve covers again, people with this series engine family are told by dealers that if the valves are not making noise then you are just wasting your money paying to have them checked. I have run Redline 10w-40 synthetic oil in this engine/primary/transmission as it is a shared sump design. Tin for my engine is 0 parts per million / Universal average 1 part per million Lead for my engine is 0 parts per million / Universal average 1 part per million Iron for my engine is 6 parts per million / Universal average 12 parts per millionĬopper for my engine is 2 parts per million / Universal average 6 parts per million I have done multiple Blackstone oil samples and the engine shows great wear numbers.Īluminum for my engine is 3 parts per million / Universal average 7 parts per million I have now owned this 2018 Yamaha Star Venture Transcontinental for 17 months now and have put on 23,174 miles on it. ![]()
