Reached 100,000 km last night on my '98 VTR, bought new in '99 !

 

You km guys are so cute. We don't celebrate until 100,000 miles here in 'Murica.

 

I'm half way there, on the bike I bought a month ago (someone else put 49800....)

So in 100000 what broke?

 

my full respect - the only bike I was able to manage 100k km on my own was my old SR 500 thumper.

 

I used to own an SR500E. It must have taken a very, very long time to put on 100,000 km.

 

Aside from maintenance items like tires, drive chains and sprockets and rear brake pads, I had to replace the coolant pump seal at 35,000 km and the clutch at 80,000 km. What a great bike!

 

what about CCTs and Reg/rect?

 

Your gearing is 7% different from stock, odometer has the same deflection after change, until you have speedohealer.

But anyway, nice number :-)

 

Just recently changed to a 44T rear sprocket, I figure with the +/- few percent inherent speedo inaccuracy it's a wash.

Nary a problem with the stock CCT's, but as a preventive measure I replaced the originals at around 85,000 km. Apparently Honda revised the design in 2003, I installed the newer ones.

I'm still running the original regulator/rectifier.

 

well if you run interstates at all. you can correlate your odometer with mile markers. Best to do 15 to twenty miles+ for a more accurate odo reading.

and you can do 60mph and see if it takes 60 secs or +-.
