coming up on 100K...

[SergeantChuck]

Congrats! Impressive amount of riding in five yeas. I ride everyday and still have not broke 50K. I hit four years in May. Good to hear the only issue was a clutch. Awesome accomplishment.

 

[HarveyM]

Congratulations!
(I look forward to the 200,000 mile update!)

 

[StratTuner]

WOW
That many miles and with a 66mpg average. Unbelievable.
How do you have enough free time to rack up that many miles??
Did you retire from your teaching job?

Most of that was done on weekends since 2013.
I retired Sept. 2017.

Does the Calendar work different over in California?

 

[PapaC]

Congrats! Around here I'd have to do a lot of rain ridin to make it. Not gonna happen. Good to know my bike is capable of it though!

 

[kpinvt]

Congratulations on this mile stone. It looks like there is room to the left of the "One" in 100,000.

Sorry, September 2016.

...like in that show on Married with Children when AL fell asleep in his DODGE trying to take a pic at 1000000 or whatever miles he had LOL. Maybe some of you may recall that episode...

If it really was a DODGE...

LOL I knew what you meant, keep it another 45 years and we can see if the odo goes to 7 digits.

Congratulations, my little CBR250 did that a few months ago and I also wondered about it since my '03 BMW didn't show another number, just rolled over to 00000, twice. The little Honda had no problems at all, now at 106,541 and still no problems. Replaced the spark plug and the countershaft sprocket at 51,000 miles, only had to change shims on the left exhaust valve once and twice on the right exhaust valve, intake valves have never needed adjustment. Changed the air filter at 72,000, still on the original chain and still uses virtually no oil, usually add about 4 ounces at the 6,000 mile mark and change at 6 months or 10,000 miles. Best bike I've ever had and I'm sure the NC will be every bit as good.
Ride Safe,
Dan

My accord is almost up to 167k mi...need to troubleshoot the condenser fan, needs a new paint job and leather on the seats, tranny may need work soon (metal in fluid), prolly could use new gaskets... otherwise it's great.

Accord is the bee's knees. Nice choice!

 

[670cc]

My HONDA truck is running fine with 398,000+ miles.

I just bought a 2017 Ridgeline. I hope it lasts as long as yours, but they'll probably be taking my driver's license away before it hits 398,000 miles.

The only thing that failed in 100,000 miles was the clutch. At 80K, it just quit working, so now I know that the NC clutch (for me) should be replaced about every 70,000 miles.

What failed exactly? Can you give us some details? Thanks!

No offense Strat but 100K on an NC is simply fulfilling a design criteria, a feat that will surely be replicated many times.

Breaking 100K on a CBR250 on the other hand is real news! Commuting miles?

I baby my clutches, but at 80k, I found myself trying to go up a steep hill in the dark. I got into sift dirt and was using the clutch to coax the bike forward.

I knew something was wrong when I would Rev the engine, let out the clutch all the way, and NOTHING happened!

The clutch plates burned smooth on that hill...says the mechanic.

That tells me that the way I putt around on my bike that I will likely never have to replace the clutch! ROFL This bike will probably last me forever then!

 

[Old Can Ride]

The NC7 will have a number of machines that cross the 100,000 mile mark. Even a few that should cross the 200,000 mark, just takes good up keep.....

 

[BerndM]

Since you got THAT many miles on your manual shift NC, I wonder if the DCT version will get closer to double that because it has 2 clutches
so theoretically, each clutch is only doing half duty compared the your single clutch.

Possibly even more. The DCT will not ride the clutch. Each is either quickly engaged or quickly disengaged. Less wear from crisp shifts.

Some parts of a dct clutch may wear faster due to the hard shifts, but I'm sure they considered that in the design.
