I've got a '93 with 105,000 km's on it. I bought it in the low 30's a bit over 4 years ago. It was 100% unmolested and in showroom condition under a substantial build up of grime. As soon as I bought it I stripped it down to the frame and loom to detail it.

It is on it's second motor while it's first motor gets it's second rebuild.

But hey, that's nothing, check out the mileage on my coffee machine.



If the bike and the coffee machine both died tomorrow, I'm afraid the coffee maker would be head of the queue.

That machine has only cost me $2.20 in parts and $6.00 for a part I dropped and couldn't find in all that time. If only bikes were that cheap to run.

Had 163,000km when the engine was spiced up, apart from seals, starter and cam chains the bottom end was not touched (yes I know a bearing will drop one day and I'll remember my mistake). It didn't need to have the pistons done but I wanted more go (and got it in spades). Now it has 173,000kms plus. I don't consider this millage much for this motor as it appears to want to run forever (like my old Z1R). 250,000 plus would be my goal before anything will need re-doing (by that time I'll need bottom end work) .

So, what did you do to get the extra grunt?

Head shaved a bit, wiseco 1219, Megacycle mild street cams (fantastic cam, top and bottom end), port clean only, Marving exhaust (very noticeable increase in power fantastic pipe). The bottom and mid range is a huge improvement, went against a hayabusa 2010 model on top end from 90kph by 160kph he was about two bike lengths in front (after that I'd say he'll cream me), the only problem I have is the front lifts under power which can catch you out if negotiating a sweeper. The Limo (FJ) goes very hard to the rev limiter at 10,500rpm so I try to change at 10 but it gets there fast.

Bought an '89 new in June 1990, put 9,000 miles on it before it was stolen in 1991.  (22 years ago today.)

Bought my current '89 in November 1991 with ~1,500 miles on it, from John's (The Beer Scientist's) dad.  It now has 106,000 miles on it.

It smokes something fierce, especially on trailing throttle, and it leaks a good bit too (need to try again with that valve cover.)  One of these years, I'm going to pull the motor and send it to RPM.

130k + The speed cable came off and I didn't replace it for a few years. I've had the bike 25 years, no rebuild...

Wow, you guys are your own FJ club!  Seriously, I don't think there are that many FJs at most rallies.

Wow, you guys are your own FJ club!  Seriously, I don't think there are that many FJs at most EAST COAST US rallies.

FTFY.

So here is a pic of the 85, the 89, 92 project, the 86, and my 92



One of the '84s in this one at our little "rally"....still tough to get them all together at once...even when Dad pays for the trip!

Bought my '92 beginning of June with about 65,000 miles on it, have put 1500 on it for 66,500.
Oil level has gone down only the slightest in that 1500 miles.

[FJ Flyer]

118K miles on the FJ .  75K miles on the FJR.

I guess my 84 is a pup with under 47,000 miles.
This is still only my second season with it. I'll try to do better.
