Member Contributer swimmer Posted March 22, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted March 22, 2015 WOW! DCT with 160k km's. Gotta be a new record. Even more impressive given he's from Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hey Swimmer you like to live dangerous like me (Fuelly) I filled 18 + liters or 4.8 gallons several times. I have a feeling were going to push our bikes to a gas station or calling for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfreako Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Bought my bike at 8,500 miles in May 2014, current mileage is 15,466 and performed the following: front wheel @ 9,374 engine oil & filter @ 9,386 front brake pads @ 9,660 final drive oil @ 9,862 rear wheel (massive puncture) @ 10,299 front right brake disc (left disc lock on) @ 11,448 installed k&n air filter @ 14,700 Kudos to Dae with 160,000km's. Helps set my mind at peace when I posted a question in the forum of how many miles will the engine last. I've booked my bike in for a full service in 2-3 weeks time. First time I will service a bike in the UK. They said it could cost up to £700, which seems quite a bit, but he did mention it could include brake pads and air filters. Anyone done a full service in the UK and have a better idea how much it would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arturelagin Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Current Mileage 160,050 Kilometers or 100,000 miles Have you measured engine compression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer swimmer Posted December 11, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 11, 2015 Current Mileage 160,050 Kilometers or 100,000 miles Have you measured engine compression? Does lofting the front wheel through the 1st 3 gears count as a compression test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Current Mileage 160,050 Kilometers or 100,000 miles Have you measured engine compression? No I have not done a compression test, currently at 186,000 Kilometers. This past few months I have been busy and rode less than 1,000 Kilometers. I will replace the spark plugs this winter which will be the 2nd time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer swimmer Posted December 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted December 18, 2016 Anyone have any updated high mileage VFR1200's to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilprofessore Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm now at 119218 km and the only issue is a warped front disc, due to poor original material. Now I have installed 2 discs made by Braking, Italian brand well known. It happened at 105000 km. Changed the shaft as all the others V4-1200 and stop, nothing else. Change also the battery, after 5 years. Installed the same Yuasa YTZ14S. Still not made the valve adjustement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My email: GoVFR1@gmail.com GoVFR Ride Safe Proud Owner of 4 5th Gens In all honesty, there are no consistent issues with this bike. Knowing these bikes very well I'd be hard pressed to come up with any trending issue. I'm at 42k miles and had my first failure last week. A $3 rubber grommet that helps hold a piece of fairing on split. Only thing to check is make sure the U-JOINT recall was performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer swimmer Posted December 1, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just passed 50k miles this morning. Pads Fluids Filters 2 fork seals Fairing clips that wore out or I broke Zero time and zero dollars spent on repairs of non-wear items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloryracing Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Over 60k miles on my ride and no issues. She does assertive 2up twisty duty very well. Although a new bike would be 'fun', there still is not another bike out there that interests me enough to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
