150,000+ miles as of last Saturday, 2012-12-08.
The clocked ticked over splitting LA Kali lanes on the 101 headed south to Michael Hendrickson's funeral.
90,470 = 150k, so at 90,814 KrZy8 stands at 150,344!
(oh, for those that don't know, the instrument cluster has been replaced twice.. once due to factory recall, once due to deer strike.

Once a year, 1.5 max. Gee, that's a funny question to ask...
Petey, you quack me up!Make sure you don't have another cluster f%&*k....
Thanks James!
Disclosure - second engine... will never compare to 03Silverbullet riding Tim's (Twowheelnuts) original engine to 200k+. Or SkooterG. Darn, that last reference kinda hurt!

OK-OK... So since there have been 0 postings in this section in OVER 2 months...
I realize this is not a "Milestone" but here you go... (To break the silence)

101STPathfinder - that's quite a milestone from another '05 rider. If I may ask, what major work (outside of normally routine and scheduled maintenance) have you done to the bike over that mileage? Also, have you replaced the coolant hoses and if so, at what mileage?
I just can't get over the reliability and longevity of these bikes. The FJR is absolutely a "rider's ride"!

*****.
Are you kidding? He doesn't even do the normally routine scheduled maintenance! He rides on the wing and a prayer!

No updates in 2 months, I'm not surprised that Rear shock linkage maintenance link has all the FJR owners striping down their suspension, so nobody left to ride
Skooter is HALF correct... Only 3 valve checks, CCT upgrade, ignition replaced and most recently I had the suspension upgraded
JamesK- Did a ride-in suspension upgrade, and they were talking about some rider who sends in his package from Japan to be serviced regularlyNo updates in 2 months, I'm not surprised that Rear shock linkage maintenance link has all the FJR owners striping down their suspension, so nobody left to ride
any idea who they might be speaking of? ;*)
Hmmmm? Are you bothered by this OD reading?
Lets do the math here...
Bought it april 2009 with 8k Sooooo
that would be like 124k in less than 4 years. IF I was the original owner that would be like 248k right?
Oh - I understand.... You are WORRIED and perhaps a bit SCARED.
You should be.... soon there will be MANY in that 200k list and soon a 250k list will be needed !
Scooter- Make sure you post your 140k mark when (IF) you hit it...
No sneaking miles around here

101STPathfinder, yep, guilty as charged, I end up having to send my Penske shock in every year for a rebuild (typically b/w 45-52k miles). The Traxxion guys are great, but the whole shipping back and forth to the States thing is an expensive & PITA.OK-OK...

Oh, yeah, I hope you took pics of all their cool machines and racks and racks of machined up widgets. When I visited Traxxion a few years back they gave me a tour and I was like a kid in a candy store
