Member Contributer bmart Posted August 15, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think that I'm the slacker in the group. I put about 10k miles on my '99 over 4 years and sold it with 27.5k on it to make room for a '98 w/3,772 miles on it. The '98 now has 25,750 on it after nearly 9 years. And the '00 I picked up last year w/3k miles on it has only 4.7k as I'm still getting it sorted...on the cheap. I do have one Subaru with over 200k on it. I love that car!

My car is a 2003 Honda Element, which I bought new 19 years ago. This past winter at about 159,000 miles all the gauges went dark, couldn't drive it at night. My shop found a used instrument cluster, which fixed the problem. But I got the donor car's odometer also! Now it only has 133,000 miles. I'm kinda pissed. edit: I like this photo because it's my 2003 Honda towing my 2003 Honda. 😎 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 If we're talking cars, my 2018 Miata I bought new just over four years ago has over 55,000 miles on it now. I know that isn't impressive for the average car or truck, but a Miata? Hardly anyone daily drives a Miata year-round, especially in NE Ohio. So yeah, I kind of proud of it. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 16, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted August 16, 2022 At 10 years, 225,000km, the airco pump broke on my Renault Megane. A grand to have a new one put in (putain!!!), I will let that one slide. Will ride the car (+bike trailer) to Spain and back next month. No AIRCO but ARKO: Alle Ramen Kunnen Open ! (I survived the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's w/o airco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major issues yet. Although from the rotten egg smell we occasionally get when we park it in the garage I think it needs a new catalytic converter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting to me that some of the 8gens including mine are seeing some high distance numbers, yet haven't heard of a single CCT replacement and I think they are the same part number as 6gens. Just curious!! I had one stick at 23k mi, changed both at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfrgiving Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I see Honda gave a full 7 segment display for the first digit in the hundred thousands position. Does that mean max 8th gen odometer reading is 999,999? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worrying thing as stated in the Owners Manual under the heading of "Instruments, Controls, & Other Features" it states - Odometer "The display locks at 999,999 when the readout exceeds 999,999" .......Buggar, so once I've done a million kilometers I'll need a new instrument panel, bike will be only just run in at that stage! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfrgiving Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I'm closing in on the max for a 5th gen, which is 199,999 as that first digit is only a two segment for the 1. My understanding is that will probably roll back to 0 as other digital Honda odometers from the era like the F4i roll over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfrgiving Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It was neat watching all the odometer number segments stay active and unchanged after the display's startup sequence finished. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted August 7, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted August 7, 2023 I have noticed a couple instances where someone has posted photos of their odometer on their 6th gens, where there are 6 digits on display. IDK why, but my 6th gen only shows 5 digits. after 99,999, whether it is set on miles of KM, it rolls back to zero. I wonder if this is just Canadian bikes that stops at 99,999 then rolls. Anyway. No phot for this but presently, my odo reads 27,211 KM. Rolled over twice so really this is 227,211 km. That's 172,250 miles. It still runs great. Matter of fact, I am thinking I will ride this bike from the West Coast Canada, to Missouri to collect Reg from VFRW, and off to New Orleans and maybe even down to Key West for Kilime pie, then home again. I might ride up to the east coast and meet up with the Rolling Barrage Ride, and ride across Canada back to the west coast again. Then, I think I am done with these long rides. I am 68 years old no0w and starting to feel the affects of these long rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest was failure of the mild steel Honda header pipes which I replaced with stainless. I did fork seals at 163,000 and recently a new stator. I put a new MOSFET regulator in while changing out the burned out stator. Minor electrical glitches fixed by cleaning related connectors. Brake system soft parts were refreshed prior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Grum Posted October 9, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted October 9, 2023 End of the road!! Nah, sell it as a new bike! It'll happily go round the clock another time, fingers crossed. Proof of what a well cared for VFR can do - Great achievement.
