Who has the most mileage on their Road Star? 3 Years ago  
Just curious what type of high mileage everyone has on their Road Star, also what type of repairs have been made if any? I know they run forever im just curious how many miles forever is.

I've got 25,000 miles ( and counting )on my `06 Roadstar. Repairs.....? Nothing, except for normal service work ( oil changes, tune up, tires. ).

Otherwise, mine runs like a top.....!

I got an 03 four yeard old with 7,000 miles. I have had it for 3 2/3 yearsand it has 54,500 miles. It is on the third front tire the first was replaced because of a blowout at 9,000 miles. It is on the fifth rear tire and third rear brake pads, front pads still original. Battery replaced at 4 1/2 years. Third set of spark plugs installed 100 miles ago.

Re:Who has the most mileage on their Road Star? 3 Years ago  
I only have 24,000 on my 06 Roadie, but I am on my 4th set of plugs just put the last set in, for under $8 I don't wait to see how long they will go. The last set came out still properly gapped, not deposits to speak of and looking very good. Still put a new set in as it is so easy. I replaced brake pads front and rear at 22,500 miles. Rear had 6mm of pad left, recommended service limit is 5mm. Front had more, but I changed them anyway when I was putting in new fork oil. I have had no repairs other than service items, oil, tires and brake pads. Engine is strong and the scoot is well built. I think she will go for a loooong time!!!

Re:Who has the most mileage on their Road Star? 3 Years ago  
almost 50K on mine. Stator went out about 3 years ago. Replaced batteries twice (on my third). Rear tire annually, front tire every other year. Plugs 3 times if I recall. Most of that is normal wear and tear and maintenance. The stator was really the only thing that wouldn't be considered maintenance. I met a guy who told me he had 250K on his '99 R*. Of course I don't know if he was telling me the truth or not.

Re:Who has the most mileage on their Road Star? 3 Years ago  
mines an 07. i have over 21,000. put em all on myself. only thing i have done is owners manual maintenance schedule (i do what ever it says to do), tires and brake pads.
i am going to change out the rear shock with the progressive and put progressive spring in the front forks. SO tired of the stock seat (that right i still have the stock seat) but i cannot take it any more, so am trying to decide which seat to get, its between the Ultimate and Day long.

Mine is an 03, picked up Aug 04, with 8 miles, now looking back at 62,000. Due to accident rather more than maintenance has been done.
She still run's fine!
Dec. 09 now looking back at 73,000. Life goes on!
