Let's see.....other than replacing a leaking valve cover gasket and the usual tires, chains, sprockets and batteries, no problems and still runs as good as the day I rode off the showroom floor.  |

Nice! Mine on the other hand is 27 years old with 46K miles and I have replaced or rebuilt most major components and rubber bits. I don't think it makes my NH a lemon, only that proper maintenance and care goes a long long way, as does age. The rubber bits, gaskets and bearings just wear out with age...
Glad to see your NH is still running great!

Same here with 49400 on my 03,Ole Yeller has 49300 and I changed the battery once and had to clean the carbs and replace the clutch cable,the valve cover gasket is next. They both run just like brand new,I have no doubt that both bikes can do over 200K with nothing major going wrong. |

The big question: Does the RPM gauge work?  |
