[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1456394, member: 19880"] I have never owned a piece of equipment with the reliability of my FJRs. My 2007 (sold at 295,000 km) was exceptional and my 2011 (currently at 160,000 km) has been even better (no electrical issues on this one, whereas I had a couple ground spider bites on the '07). On the 2011, I have replaced one set of brake pads, one set of front fork seals/bushings, two valve shims (during my second valve check), and a shifter rubber. Period. Even the OEM battery and headlight bulbs are still working (although both should be replaced soon). Never did anything to engine, clutch, transmission, drive, or brakes on either bike (beyond basic maintenance - plugs, coolant, brake pads, fluids, linkage lube etc.). Neither bike has ever consumed a measurable quantity of oil between changes. One set of front wheel bearings on the '07 and a cam chain tensioner replacement as a preventative measure as there were some issues reported with the early ones. Gear indicator switch, a cracked coolant overflow tank and a pinhole leak in the radiator (fixed by a rad shop) on the '07 as well... [/QUOTE]
