xpress Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I've got about 10,400 miles on mine and the only major problem I've had was the clutch cable breaking at about 7k miles. Replaced it with a new one and I've been riding ever since. Tires had to be replaced at about 5000 miles. Otherwise it gets ridden daily, so long as the ground isn't wet. I absolutely love this bike, it's the best motorcycle I have ever owned or ridden. The power is just phenomenal and it handles very well. Things I will be tweaking in the future is getting the ECU reflashed in the next couple of months as well as working on getting the suspension setup for me. I mostly commute on it but it was painfully obvious how sensitive the throttle is and how soft the suspension is when entering and exiting corners. Just shy of 30K now. Still using the same OEM replacement clutch cable I installed at 7K, knock on wood no issues to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitedsevens Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Bike looks great xpress, definitely get the ecu and suspension done I think it will give you a newfound appreciation of the fj.

proast Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I'm at 23k Km... 21k of it in 12 months.. not sure what that is in miles. TYRES. Original Dunlops changed at 14k but was probably 2k Km more than they should have been. Experienced the front handlebar vibration that many people complain about but I thinknI had read on this forum that its nothing more than uneven type wear. Spot on. As soon as the new tyres went on...problem solved. Not impressed by the Dunlops at all....rubbish. Now running Metzeler Roadtec 01's and super impressed. Superb in wet and dry and hardly showing much wear with nearly 10k km on them. CLUTCH CABLE. Replaced at 21k km after it broke on the way home from work. 3 weeks for Yamaha to get one in stock. The new 02 part number at least...so doesn't have the wear point that plagues the 01 version. Life of cable will probably depend on what type of riding you are doing. My km are 2/3rds city peak hour commute in heavy traffic and lots of lane filtering and clutch action. That's it from a maintenance view apart from 10k km services and I drop the oil and filter at the 5k km in betweens. It's one of the key reasons I went the Yamaha over say a Duc Mutlistrada... my relatively high annual km would be very expensive to run/service/maintain.... it's just so reliable and the Torque of the triple just makes it the perfect all rounder.

phpaul Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Just rolled over 10K on mine. Bought new 4th of July weekend 2016 so just starting my 3rd season on it. Not a lot of miles compared to a lot of folks here, but not bad for an old fart that only takes afternoon rides. 200 miles is a BIG day for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on trading the bike off, or are you going to run it to 200k plus? Did I read somewhere that you've only required 2 slight valve adjustments in all those miles? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
