I'm sure it is the warm weather that gets everything working better; my fan cuts in just before it gets to 5 bars while stationary but it now runs all day at 3 bars with the occasional 4 showing, my vision has stayed steady at one road ahead and having found a great riverside pub with even greater food today was almost too good to be true.

My K1300GT has reached almost 54,000 miles with only a replacement master cylinder for the clutch, that due to leakage at the reservoir.

Started cleaning the k13 radiator and everything else. Here's the pile of muck from the first dry brush. The air filters are nasty, with leaves and feathers lying in the intake tubes

My K hasn't had any clutch parts and it's done 35,000 miles. At what mileage do most clutch problems arrive? 28,000 seems a bit soon to me? Maybe there's an underlying fault?

Just been crunching some mileage records. Although I perceive my Enduroguard kit as "new", in fact  it isn't. I bought the suit  31/10/19 with the K13 so its 4.5 years old and I have worn it for almost all of the 35,000 miles I've ridden since on both bikes. The gloves were bought on 28/9/20 and have covered almost all of the 26,500 miles since. I blame Covid for fogging my memory, and I have revised my opinion of "humph that waterproofing didn't last long" to "oh, not so bad".

Offhand I'd say the gloves are the most durable I've ever had. My Hein Gericke touring leathers have lasted much longer than 4.5 years, my trousers are at least 17 years old as I bought them before moving here from Scotland, and my jacket is about 10 years old, but I have hardly worn them since buying the Enduroguard suit and they aren't waterproof. Most of the zips have been replaced but that's it. My claim to fame is that the 17 year old trousers still fit...

Not sure what durability other people are getting but maybe there's a thread worth starting on this?
