Re: mileage on stuntbikes?
I've heard f4i's go through motors more than 636's! how many miles to people have on their 636's? Wonderin, cuz.. I've got a minty f4i I'm getting rid of, an I'm gonna just keep an use my 636 stunta for everything.
Re: mileage on stuntbikes?
I hate my f4i's front forks, they ****. The 636 already has inverted forks on it stock. Hey, if ya wanna buy it, come get it, I don't need 2 bikes! Anyone have any input thats actually on topic?

I remember asking a mechanic once if he got many Honda's coming in the service department, his reply was "only for tire changes."
I've said it before, but before a 5 minute rev-limiter session popping the motor, I had over 75k on my 99' 900rr....Stock clutch. I ran mobil 1 synthetic car oil in it since it was new.

Re: mileage on stuntbikes?
my cousins 929 lasted till he started doing coasters and high chair circle burn outs and that was all she wrote for that motor did a 954 motor swap in a 929. Honda motors are usually strong so dun worry about mileage , in the shop my cousin works at they work on bikes with motors that have had like 30000 miles and they just do gaskets, valve jobs, piston and rings and rehone the cylinder but after all that u could just pick a new motor off a salvage bike for like 900 to 1200 bucks for a motor with like 10000 miles which if it hasn't been abused is like new
Re: mileage on stuntbikes?
Actually I just got back from riding and she's got 19,312 miles on her!!!
She still runs good and solid though....
I hope she has many more miles left on her.....:YEAH
I don't know what my stuntbike is up to now, since I haven't had the cluster gauge hooked up for a while. But before I unhooked all that sh** it was at around 13k and some change.....I am not at all worried about that one.....Still strong... ('00 F4)
