Is it still resting? Or have you kept adding more to that?

A big, big congratulations to Grey Ghost!

Hey Ghost,
Can you elaborate further on how the motor seems to be doing with those miles? Power? Oil consumption?
Has the motor been apart at some point?
Any secrete to getting one of these motors up to those miles?
Sorry if some of this was addressed earlier in the thread, but it’s a looong thread.
And yes, CONGRATULATIONS

I'm still riding it and it's up to 509547 of which 28825 was put on this year. Plus I put 9596 on the Gen 3. P.S. Does anyone know how many miles MX vet has now. (ED), around Chicago area.

Yes, the engine was replaced at about 456,000 miles because it stalled on a cold morning while it was warming up. They said it had low compression and the shop couldn't check it, didn't want to monkey with it because of the mileage. So it set for another 3-4 years before we replaced it. Keep the oil changes up to date and regular checkups. and if you need to know more on the bike check my earlier threads, back around page 32 and up.

Amazing! That's so awesome!

To whom it may concern, don't expect any immediate replys to any questions as I am computer illiterate, and smart phone illliterate, have to have a friend put this stuff on for me. Thank you for your understanding, Old School G.G.

Do to bursitis in the hip, I can barely walk let alone, ride my bike. So my mileage will stay as pictured for awhile I hope the rest of you are racking up the miles.!!!!!

I'm riding but my 2011 only has a fifth of the mileage you are displaying. Hope you get some relief from the bursitis!

Today's, 8/20/23, milestone

 

[SkooterG]

From Facebook today: Last weekend Ed Peterson (MxVet) hit 400,000 miles on his '04 FJR.

Chicka-WOW!!!!

 

[The Gray Ghost]

I was just going to ask if anyone knew how many miles MXVet had, I figured he was nearing the 400k mark. Thanks for the update on him. I just updated my mileage today to 527,000 !!! and I want to welcome the two new riders who have just purchased the 03's the BEST FJR'S EVER MADE.!!! A quick note to them the center stand will need to be replaced as that was an issue on them, they fixed it in 2004 and if you really get carried away and put a lot of miles on them, your rear wheel may start leaking around 500K !!!

I hit this mark on a short ride to Utah

I then hit this

Started the ride with 77976 on 8/26. Got home 9/6 with 82, 664 with a total of 4688 miles in 11 days.

Here's a couple of mileage updates, let me know what you think. I guess I put the pics up twice but I guess you get the idea. Ha.

So, when are you going to hit 1,000,000 km? (621,371 miles)

So, when are you going to hit 1,000,000 km? (621,371 miles)

How did you know that is my next goal, give me about 3-4 years.

 

[gbrmksmith]

Just passed 100,000 miles on my current 2014 FJR

 

[Polarize]

Took 17 years but reached 100,000 miles - still runs like it’s brand new. Doesn’t get the attention it deserves since picking up a Goldwing few years ago, but still a fun ride!
