100K

After 5 and half years of melbourne commuting , clocked 100,000 kms today on
my blue 97 vfr750.

During that time ive had nothing but a reliable and a pleasurable
experience.

Other than replacing the R/R twice, it's been perfect.

Looking forward to the next 100 thou.

Thought I'd share that with the group.

 

golly people keep their bikes that long do they

well done and congrats

 

Funny when you sell a bike with 50,000 on it they say shit like
Oh sorry mate thats too many klms, its not worth anything.

I think it's like kids. Apparently "it's different when they are
yours!"

Hello, not sure if you're on the aus vfr list. If not, feel free to check it
out at:

We have a few people with high km viffers on the list too.

I'm proud to say that mine has 62,000km on it over 3 yrs and no probs beside
the R/R failing... I'm still planning on doing a 25,000km trip around
Australia to add to that, hopefully in the next year or so... Until then,
will keep riding and adding those touring km's on

Kids become tolerable by the time they're 25.

Regulator/rectifier
VFR, CBR, Blackbirds, VTR are known for it.
Expect about one every 35-40,000 km

 

Are bikes still failing there? The old Suzi GS had that problem - it was
sheer stupidity of the design of the regulation system - jeez, crude control
of one phase of the alternator..

rectum regulator?

 

At 37,200km my bird is right in the danger zone then eh....
I haven't seen any mentions of the R/R problem on the various XX mailing
lists.

Just trying to work out if there is meant to be a connection between the
content of the post and the sig line.......
