I've got 72,000 and the only problems I've had have been clutches from not using Kaw or honda motorcycle oil.  Auto oil ruins Kaw clutches.
Otherwise, oil and filters; that's all.

Hey Ski.

I have 52,000 on my 02' 800 Drifter. It has been ridden hard and under every condition. The only repairs made to this bike were: Replace battery, rear mono shock, drive chain (2x) and brake pads.

I have done plenty of mods and standard PM every 3-5k. With the exception of a little slop in the suspension (front and rear) due to excessive weight and age, this bike is still running excellent. Never required any engine or transmission repair.

Kawasaki makes a great product...well at least in this particular line.

My bike is still relatively low mileage with only 6800 miles.  I have literally had 0 problems and 0 replaced parts...other than the small things that I really wanted to do.

Problems ? with a Kawa !. I have 9 grand on my 02 and third owner. She has a higher cam , carb kit (dyno stage one) a K&N filter and the center pipe removed from the stock exhaust and dropped 1 inch in the rear. Maxis Classics tires. She will run me into the asphalt.

I have 8600 miles on my 02 1500. The only problems I have is from after market add ons, Power commander, Hyper- charger. I had to replace the throttle body (OUCH) becuase of my not a mechanic son-in-law (last owner). Only problem I'm having is it runs rich.
