what king of maintenance did I do to reach 100K?
valve checks....1,250....4,832.....31,241....69,027.... will get next one mid April. Always in spec, but brought in to middle of spec. I did watch others post being able to go past recommended intervals, so that is what I started to do. I did post in the "epic intervals valve" about 2 of the checks.
2 weeks after 1 yr of ownership, radiator developed a pin hole leak on back side. Ordered a new one, @ about 33,000 miles and having past 1 yr, didn't want to try a warranty discussion with Honda. I did go past 1 yr and had too many miles, had to get new one back on and RIDE.
front brake pads @ 54,693 miles, rear ones a bit later, I guess I didn't write down miles. About 60,000.
2 air filters, 2 sets spark plugs, need another set in when I get valve check.
12-7-14 92,564 miles. rear spline drive hub, thrust washer and another cone shape spacer, rubber cushions and alum inserts. Rear brake disk. Rear shock.
12-21-14 93,443 miles. fork seals with copper sliders, oil.
1-11-15 rear rim. the internal thrust bearing and cone shaped part wore away the hub on rim, creating about .100 (almost 1/8, .125) space. could see bearing sticking that much out. didn't know what it should look like , but figured out it wore away. new rim came with new bearings.
have not changed brake fluid or coolant yet. going to get both done soon, brake done by mechanic @ valve check, and I will do coolant. I did get some new in when changing radiator and having a slight hose leak. I ride so much and bike is parked inside my attached garage when not riding, was not worried about brake fluid attracting moisture.
12 oil changes using 10w-30 full synthetic about 8K apart. will be doing another this weekend.
I think that is it. I believe its a reliable Honda!!!!!!!!!!!!!
