Timing belt... How many kms???

Hey,

Nearing to 90,000kms and was wondering if they timing belt 'had' to be done then or not?

How long do they last? Mechanic reckons its common to change them closer to 100k rather than 90k as they hardly ever go?

Cheers

pedders ride better than the kings- kings are much stiffer. but rolling your gaurds should give you enough clearance.
role the front half of the gaurd especially.
the fronts arent a problem are they?

just the rear guards?

it is a sports and it feels fairly hard, so the supsension may differ from a stocky!

but we will get it lowered eventually!
