My 2001 ST2 (which replaced a K100RT) is just shy of 30,000 kms. I bought LT Snyder's Desmodue Maintenance & Modification Guide (Google DesmoTimes) just for the valve adjustment & cam belt replacement chapter so I can do it myself. Great book, and Snyder's advice is pretty much spot on for maintenance issues (clutch etc.). My VStrom is ok, but it'll never tug at my heart like the Ducati.
