46,000 on my 2010,
chaffed wiring loom around 18k
Generator failed around 35k (as did a couple of pattern replacements, SH BMW one sorted it).
LH switch gear (trip reset) around 35k.
think there was a recall for fuel sender gasket when I got it.
Major service (18k) at dealers, rest by me.
chain, sprockets, pads discs etc all seem to wear reasonably.
Pretty pleased overall.

forgot, also had to replace clutch microswitch and the return spring on the actuating arm.
slight play in rear wheel bearings at 22k, replaced those and front, which also needed the rim rolling out due to slight dink.
lost a bolt out of the sprocket cover and the little plug on the end of the HP footrest.
original battery is still ok although I did stick a new one in during the generator saga.
oh and the rear caliper sliding pin needed cleaning and lubing to cure the brake issues, only took me 30k to work out.
think we might get a few more miles out of her yet.
