How many miles on your Rocket ?

[Rocket Scientist]

Hi all. As you may know my Rocket ate it's output shaft bearings at 53,000 miles. It had the upgrade done somewhere before 16,000 miles (before I owned it) so I don't know if they installed the new torsional damper. There are some other items I know didn't get changed that should have. Anyway, I'm interested to see how many miles you have and if you've ever had to replace your output shaft bearings. Myself, Warp, Blaine and Art from Carpenter racing are looking at different bearings to see if there is something better out there.

My 08 has 31000mls an never had a problem with the bearings,detent spring has been the only problem. My mate's 04 with 80000mls had the upgrade done at 32000 and has had no problems with the bearings. He's has however had a new crank,2 new drive shafts an final drives(just about to buy his 3rd),3 ignition switches,1 lamda sensor, 1 tps, new fork stanchions and new front discs and he still loves it.
