I think you just saved $500+ in shop fees too.  Sweet.

ASLAM.

how are those tyres? I'm seriously considering those for my bike. Rainy season is coming soon to Florida so I'll be needing some nice wet tyres.

hey, mine hit 10k this weekend too!

waaaaaaaa you all think 10k is alot

shoot  I just rolled over 15k last week and it'll hit 16k by week's end :lol:

17.5k here

ASLAM.

NOOOO I've been beaten :nana: *must ride further*

hey hehe,

too early to tell.  i'll know for sure in the next few days splitting lanes and riding on the stripings.  i won't be able to let you know how it handles wetness since we get rain about 3 days a year here in so-cal.

My '89 will hit  10,000 in about 400 Mi.  Actually it will hit 33,684 which is 10,000 more than when i bought it in September 2002 :mrgreen:  I would probably have hit  it by next Sunday at Bear Mtn if it wasn't my wifes B'day

Randy...are you still using that "wife has a birthday excuse??  I suspect that GSJack has all of us beat  in miles......... :mrgreen:

17.9 here.
I wonder how much life there is in it.

I hit 10,000 on my rear tire 5,000 miles ago.  :lol:


My bikes at 25k and still running as strong as the day I bought it.

yeah jack has half a trillion miles or 1.5 trillion km on his

My '93 has 44000 km /27500 mi. on it.  Still running great.

Bought my 02 last Sept with a little over 4k on it.  It will be turning 10,000 miles shortly, maybe I should get a pic of it.   :lol:  Used the old 97 over the winter and it has almost 80k on it.  Bought the 97 new in 3-99.

Gotta re-jet that 97 before next winter.  

45,000 on the 89 (37K by me) , 7700 (100 by me) on the 91, in addition to the ~6600 (5,000 by me) on the 90 before selling it. Yea GsJack is the man. But my miles have all been commute only...
Cool.

I've got 0 miles on my GS... oh wait I don't have a GS.

I do however have 20,000km on my street '02 SV, would be more but, I sat out most of the season with a blown motor followed by a racing injury.

"Used the old 97 over the winter and it has almost 80k on it. Bought the 97 new in 3-99. "

Got a question for gsjack or anyone else with high mileage (10,000 or more miles) What type of oil do you use and how often did you change it? And also, did you get valves and carbs adjusted? if so, how often?

Thank you.

I am just about to hit 10K in say 50 miles or so... so far im still running Castrol GTX 10w40. HOwever i believe some ppl here with high mileage use Rotella (shell) or Delvac motor oils with quite a bit of success.

I did a carb sync done at 4K or so.. (thanks to pkasso) but i havent done jack since then.. i havent adjusted my valves yet.. i got to do that when i reach 16K (according to JohNLA) its the max before we need adjustment. However I believe GSJack went a bit more before adjustment..

So far I do my oil changes every 1500-2500 miles. I check my oil every 200 miles or so..

My '99 is about 300 miles away from 30,000.  I have cleaned the carbs once, synch'ed them a couple of times, and checked my valve clearances 2 or 3 times.  Last time I checked the valves they were all pretty tight.  I need to order some thinner shims soon.

I bought the bike used in Mar 2000 with 1750 miles on it, so it probably had the original oil at the time.  I replaced it once with Golden Spectro 4 full synthetic motorcycle oil, and then switched to Mobil 1 15W-50 full synthetic auto oil, which I have used ever since.

My bike still uses VERY little oil between 3,000-mile oil changes.
