Not sure it is the highest, but my 2015 Hawk has 5092 Miles! (8197 Kilometers). Most of the miles were put on in 2016, after I bought it for $650 because of a bent valve @ 500 miles. (P.O. over revving, said he had yz's as a kid and didn't know what happened) BraaaaaaaaaaP0P! or a Keeper just slipped...
Fluids: 92 octain, Rotella 20-50(1k -1.5k interval), dot-3
Repairs/Maintainence: Intake Valve, Keepers and Springs, Valve Adjustments, Brake Light Switch, couple sets of Mirrors, Welded Seam in Gas-tank, Chain @ 2k, Replaced Stock Knobies @ 3.5k with Shinko 700s, a few wire connections, and 2nd New Battery (last week)
Mods: Shimmed Slide Needle, opened needle jet to 2.5 turns, NGK Plug, added 2nd brake master, to control front brake with foot, moved right wired controls to Left. 17t, LED Bulbs, new Scott Grips, 2 Cramp Busters, Faster Twist Throttle, DeCat @ 5k ( No Difference)
