    From what I remember, no. Just regular maintenance. 

    I don't want to speak for OldDawg though.

    Sorry I didn't get back to you, I've not been on for a while.  Just normal wear.  Just needed fork seals at about 260,000.  Still original clutch and all bearings.  Hope to make 300,000 miles by this time next year.  I'm 79 yrs. young we will see who wears out first me or the bike.

    Hey Olddawg,

    That’s damn impressive. You getting any more miles on these days. 
    I guess the FJ must be as capable as the FJR at lasting many miles.

    Thanks.

     

    Still ride 4 or 5  times a week , most rides between 100 and 200 miles.    All stock except windshield and CCT.  7/25/2020  215,000 miles     3/30/21  236,000

    Just remembered shock had slight oil leak and was replaced about 170,000

    To answer, do I still ride to new destinations .  Sometimes, most of my rides are between 100 and 400 miles.  I am 77 yrs. old and don't  like to be gone overnight I have only done so twice since I bought the bike.  I have done one Iron Butt SS1000 and ridden every mile of every highway in Oklahoma.  Even the short rides are great, I've never had a boring ride and hope I can do this many more years.  Now about the bike.  I bought the bike new April first 2015 at K&N Yamaha Tulsa OK and they have done all the maintenance .  They have been great and gone above and beyond to keep me on the road with very little down time.  There was a factory recall on CCT and it was replaced twice .  The third time it was replaced with aftermarket manual adjuster, no more problems but had to replace cam chain.  Replaced fuel pump at about 50,000 miles. I wasn't stranded, it would only run about 30 mph.  Replaced stator at about 150,000 miles.  Valves set five times , plugs, air filter, throttle body check.  Changed to V Stream windshield after two years.  It is much better. Everything else is stock.  I am impressed by what didn't go bad . It still has original clutch, all bearings,  fork seals and does not use any oil or leak any fluids.  Thank you for your interest and kind words.  Slowing down some I'm getting old, 5/20/20 - 207,000 miles .    6/25/2020  212,000    7/25/2020  215,000 miles
