And you become the second member of the 6 figure club! Just 16 days shy of my 4th anniversary date with the big girl.
Yes, I know... It's very dirty in the pics...
Here's a pic when it was clean, to distract you guys!
(concours14 calendar submission, btw)
This post is almost a week late though. I turned the big 100k last Sunday, July 17th, on a group ride through the Santa Cruz mountains.
Don't really have anything to report about it though. The bike just keeps on going, and going, and going. But I'll address the normal questions...
The only warranty claims so far have been the melty dash, way back when it was still below 10k miles, and the glove box not opening properly. (the new lid is also currently broken, so that will be a second one for that. And a close look at my pics will show a melted speedo needle as well)
I've never had a KiPass failure, but I have had a battery failure.
The brake rotors are still the originals, and I'm about to install my 4th set of front pads. (OEM. I tried EBC's, but I like the initial bite of the stockers better)
I replaced the head bearings with tapered rollers at 65k, and that solved the slight "clicking" front end that I left until that point because I felt no pressing NEED to replace/check/fix it earlier.
The front bevel gear drive is the only 'major' part that's been replaced. That was only changed because Mama Kawi wanted to peek at a few higher milage units.
I'm currently running a Pilot POWER 2CT in front, and a Pilot ROAD 3 on the rear. I like the combo, but I'm also VERY easy on my front tire which is why I get tolerable milage from it. (about 8-10k)
Feel free to ask anything else, but it's been quite drama free.
