We all know the Fazers are fairly bulletproof so I was wondering whos bike has the highest mileage? Can be any model Fazer and you don't have to have done all of the miles yourself but it has to be the original engine. Anyone got more than 100,000 on the original engine?

I think there was a post a few months ago about a girly in the states with over 200,000 on a gen one thou

I think i could have the lowest :lol
purchased my 51 plate, gen 1 thou in May with only.... 5000 miles on it.. It currently has 7000. Just interested in how many years/miles service i can expect from it lol
Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen

my '58 plate 600 has 12,500 atm. Lad I used to work with has an '03 plate FZS6 with 3k miles.

Bought mine with 30,000 kilometres. Here it is a custom to put your mileage to 30k, whatever it really was, when selling a bike. All the bikes are sold at 30k.
 Now mileage shows above 60,000 kilometres (round 40k miles). Changed cam chain, opened engine. Valve clearences were good, engine looks nice, clean, doesn't burn oil. Hope to see another 60k kilometres. I ride from 4 to 10 thousand kilometres per season.

2000 with 62k. Original engine, no engine work apart from a cracked clutch bracket.

Dude.
Bought it as it from Gringo and done nothing except top up oil. I think it had about 80k on it at sale, or thereabouts. It's all immaterial now, I've all but put it off the road to scrap it and break it. It's been a sturdy wee beast tho
Smell ones mother. Yaas!

'01 Y plate here with 38.5k. Not all that much, but 14k of that was done in the last 6 months :crazy

My last 98 fazer 600 had 45000 on it at sale and ran like a dream. My first fazer had I think 43000 on it, and I put 30k on it in just over a year. My 2010 fz1 has 22500 miles on it, and my sons current fazer 600 has mere 20000. I'll soon put that up as I'm borrowing it for a bit.
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Mine passed 148,000 a week or so back.
(Only the first 114k was on the original engine though.)

my old 2003 thou had 107,000 on it when I sold it to a local foccer in 2011. all miles were mine from new, original engine & just consumables required.

Around 110,000 seems to be where they let go. I'd love to rebuild an original engine and see if it would do another 110,000
12-12-12, 01:21 PM
Only another 60,000 for me then!
I'll start saving for a new engine now,,, Lets see, 12000/ year x 5 years,,,,,

High oil consumption? Low power? Over 90 BHP from 600 cc is a lot - no wonder they don't last nearly as much as an average car engine, which gives half the HP, in double the cc capacity.

Sure an engine could be a write off after 10,000 miles if it's been badly treated or it could keep going forever if you're willing to put money into fixing it. Just depends on when you think it's not worth fixing. |
