Usually I'm a really gentle rider and never push it.

So yours might be in better shape than one that has only done 1/10 the mileage ...

As long as it is not burning oil at a significant rate i would just ride it. Bearing ans suspension etc might need replacement but the is just service.

But once you closes in on 200k it might be worthwhile to source a low milage engine while you take your old one apart and check for wear ;-) There is a list in here somewhere with how far people have ridden their xt's
