Honda reliablity
ok, as many of you may or may not know, i own a rc51 that i got off of another member of another board.
he babied this thing and it was in great shape, i on the other hand have ridden the piss out of this thing, track days to cross country trips think 22,XXX miles in a year some odd months to date i have changed the chain cause it was worn, and had a bulb go out on me and had to replace a fork seal... thats the only things that has gone out (other then tires) I have changed the oil every 4,000 miles (rotella syn) and change the brake fluid once a year I took it in to have the valves checked, the service guy took a listen to them and said they sounded fine and to not worry about them till either they made noise or roughly 32,000 miles which is double the service time that they recommend my front sproket i was looking at replacing, took a closer look at it... its still in perfect operational order!!! 28,000 miles on that sprocket and its still in good shape!!! my kawi that i had prior this was starting to crap out on me with only 16,ooo miles, the fast start cable, the clutch yadda yadda.... i just wish all bikes had the reliablity of a honda the point of this thread: HONDA>ALL (all being the big four in this case) |
