Supporting Member Popular Post betoney Posted December 1, 2019 Supporting Member Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2019 I bought my '15 FJ09 3 years ago today as a new-in-crate leftover model. What a fantastic 3 years it has been with this bike. I have spent a lot of time and money making it my own but couldn't be happier with the end result. I have ridden 44,000 miles through 9 states and have never had a break-down or been left stranded, not even a flat tire or dead battery. The bike has ran flawlessly and only needed routine maintenance; 15 oil changes, 8 sets of tires and I am almost halfway through the 3rd set of chain and sprockets. I am looking forward to many more trouble-free miles. 10 4 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tktplz Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Glad to hear. I am newer than you to this journey so nice to know mileage and trouble free operation, I hope, I hope, is on my side so to speak. Plan to have this bike till retirement, 4.5 to 7.3 years. Sounds like a good bet! 3 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member DavidS Posted December 6, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted December 6, 2019 My personal opinion is that changing the oil every 3K miles has a lot to do with how long and how well the bike performs. Betoney is right under that mark at an average of 2933 miles between oil changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
