    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How far do these old bikes go?

I have a '78 750 with 41,000 miles. Runs fine, no abnormal oil consumption and compression figures of 115 PSI across the board.

I had an '80 1100 that went 75,000 with me, and at least up to 100,000 with it's subsequent owner. It needed a top end at 50,000. How do the old 8 valver's do?
 
I feel that my wife's 850, at 62,275 miles, still has a LOT of life left.
No reason they shoudln't go well over 100,000 miles. :-k

.
 
I don't recall if Nick's (Grandpa's 1100G) ever needed any head work in the 123,000 miles he racked up.
 
Not that Im aware of. Its about 20 miles from crossing 134,000 miles at the moment.. Tranny is a lil noisy, or maybe its the secondary box, but still shifts smooth and fires right up every day.
