I think his name was Charles R. with the high mileage. I wish I didn't wreck my first C-14. I would be sitting at about 68,000 miles with in 32 months. It would have put me in his range of 100,000 in 4 years. Not too bad for a New England resident.
Conundrum. (I think his name is John)
Beat me to 100k by about 4000 miles. I'm sure i'm even farther back now, since my commute halved, and I now own a car again.
Still, 106K on my clock.
type of mileage? everything... including a track day
Type of climate? Everything.
Bought Aug. 3rd. 2007
No major issues.
I had the dash surround replaced early on.
I've had the early glovebox replaced by the slightly better fitting 2009 version.
Kawi exchanged the final drive on a few of us high milage guys, so they could inspect them.
I tried to get them to pay out the warranty for the peeling paint on the OEM muffler, so I could store credit an aftermarket one. But instead I bought a second used OEM one for $40.00. (that also is peeling...)
Replaced a lot of tires. I prefer Pilot Power 2CT fronts, but like the Dunlop Roadsmart too.(I'm very easy on my front tire, so I get decent mileage) And either Dunlop Roadsmarts, or Michelin Pilot Road 3 in the rear. (probably stick with the PR3 from now on)
Replaced the brake pads for EBC's, but didn't like them, so I'm back on OEM pads. (and due to replace them...again
)
Replaced the wheel bearings around 50k
Replaced the steering head bearings around that time too. (probably just needed a retorque, but what the heck)
And that's about it. The rest of the bike has gone the distance. (Yes, the brake rotors are 106k old) I'm a mechanic by trade, but I don't want to do work on my free time, so I've let a shop in Gilroy do all the service work, and I've liked the results.
