100,000 miles!

[sail2xxs]

Hit the 100,000 mile mark on my 2012 S10 this morning - 25 months and 2 days after buying it brand new.

This bike is awesome. ::022::

Tim,

It would be a boring ad - stock grips, bars, and windshield. Sargent seat for the last 40k miles, stock before that. Fastway F5 pegs. ::001::

Close to it Tom! There were some stretches where I wasn't so happy with how things were going, but having two excellent dealers (Romney Cycles in Romney, WV and TriCounty Honda Yamaha in Petersburg, WV) and the tremendous support of Yamaha on the warranty side when needed made all the difference. I couldn't have done it without the help of TJ Lewis (tech), Larry (sales/service) and Kevin (owner) at Romney, or Rocky (tech), AJ (service manager), and Eric Hardy (sales/service) at TriCounty.

Shows how well these bikes are built, what was and if any major issues over the time it took you to rack up these miles?

Yea, and there is only 52 weeks in a year ???

Could you kindly post a list of any issues you needed repairing, if any, and at what mileage? It would be much appreciated. Do you have a rough guess on total maintenance costs over the period, not including tires. This would really show how well these bikes are made and perform. ::026::

I can send you my maintenance spreadsheet which has everything in it, including part numbers. Just PM your email address. I've had two recurring issues, with failures averaging roughly every 20k miles - headlight wiring harnesses and final drive seals. After two winters of riding, electrical connection corrosion due to road salt has become an issue. Yamaha has been great on the warranty side (I have the YES plan until 2016).

Cheers. Will do. Thank you very much.

Dallara,

I'm headed to Houston for work the week after next, and will be riding down. It's a quick trip though... one day down, one day of meetings, and one day to get home. Planning on getting back to Texas before the end of the year, and if the dates work out, will definitely be there for the Spring Ride! I owe you some beverages too!

Trubrit -

I can give you an exact amount on maintenance costs, including tires. Just PM me your email, and I'll send you the excel spreadsheet I've been tracking everything in.

Thanks Bob! We still need to get some sailing in before it's time to pull out for the season!
