Hi everyone, been reading this very helpful forum for awhile now. I have a 1995 F3 which i has recently gone over about 62k miles, I have looked after her though i'm not overly skilled on the mechanical side so I would like a few pointers on common problems that may crop up now.

Is there anything i need to keep an eye out for when the bike hits this kind of mileage? I had the valve shims checked about 5k miles ago an the carbs redone etc. The engine is still running sweet never fails to start etc an she is riden in rain, shine and snow.

Thanks all

 

makes sure all ur nuts r tight not loose

 

Holly He!! that is a lot of miles. I only have 14k on my 98 and I thought that was getting high. If you haven't done to much maintenance on it I would jsut bring it to a mechanic you trust and tell him to go through the whole thing and get it setup for you.

 

dude you got me by 2x mile's...... 93 F-2 W/ 60,128 mile's mine run's good also

 

Hi guys, thanks for your replys. I do maintain her, like working on the breaks, regular 3 month oil change and basic running checks. Things like engine work and such are still beyond me so it goes into a garage for a service. What i am looking is advice warning signs that somthing might need looking at like cluch slippage, valve tappings an electrics etc

The one thing i have learned recently is the tell tale sign of the cct going gone through three of those useless honda ones recently

Added a pic aswell quality is a bit poor though.
