Durability

I have been pushing the GTR to the limit for the last 2 weeks. I was riding at almost full throttle most of the time. I rode it for about 100-120km every day.

I am doing this to evaluate the durability of the machine because I am thinking or riding it for a long distance journey later this year.

But the result is not very good. I have an oil leaking from one of the nut near the exhaust pipe. The valves also have started to make a little clicking sound.

The tyres have also started to worn out. I already feel some problem when I rode over white line on the road.

I will continue riding at maximum speed for a few more days before I make any decision to take for a long trip later this year.

I will update this blog on my findings.
