Mine is at 466028 miles (750.000 KM), hoping it will hold. Runs smooth still, but as i do not know the previous owners maintananse on the bike, i can help but wonder if its got much left in it..

Wow!, you possibly own the world mileage record in a FJ!. Mine is now 140.000 miles old with no oil consumption and running faster as ever (it could be the head manifolds that get smoothed inner surface with the time), including occasional closed track incursions and fast riding everywhere (the engines get clogged when driven in traffic jams habitually)

My ex-1100 run 165.000 in 5 years and I sold it with a perfect compression test

What about yours?. It would be very illustrative if you check the compression for us (please, please!)  :good2:

Any symptoms of it wearing out? How is your oil consumption?

Hi there :)

Well, i am a jackass (dont know anything) about mechanicks, but oil consumption is almost none :) Have a small leak somewhere, can see 1-3 drops when it stops and i park with warm engine, but not noticable on the measure level :)

Runs like a charm actually, no trouble with gears, good speed/accseleration.. All in all a pleasant drive :)

Hi again :) Cant see any noticable oil cunsumption, have a small drip when i park it (2-3-4 drops) after a few minutes, but not noticing anything on the level glass :)

How do i perform a compression test? Im sory but i have wery little mechanickal knowledge :)

Thanx so much, pleasure to be here :)

FJmonkey

Wow, I have 70K miles and a few drips where I park... Not too bad.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
