Just over 38,000... still going strong. Presently have gone one tooth larger on back sprocket. Helps the fanning on technical terrain a bit. Still... your results will probably vary with use and type of riding. I have quite a lot of highway kms.

I had over 40k on my dr650 before the clutch needed to be replaced.

If you still have the stock hand guards make sure they are not broken. At highway speeds they can push against your clutch lever, ruin you clutch in a day.

You should have a long way to go.

No problems yet, just a cpl adjustments at the lever.

If Tom was ready for a clutch at 40k, I'm bettin' I will get an engine rebuild before clutch replacement. On other DR650 forums, clutchissues never seem to be a topic of majorinterest, or concern.

Cheers, Alex.
