....... 2009, best year I think
Indeed 2009 was a very good year, but the 2008 ones were marginally better
Who has the highest mileage F800?

Your up early?
Well motogp was a bit disappointing wish I had stayed in bed now
Always up early
1900hrs beer in the Boat inn Tuesday night ??
Micky are you still on the original cam chain and tensioners?
Yup ... original clutch too. Never needed the valve clearances adjusting, all halfway between max and min tolerance, all exhaust the same, all inlet too
That bike has served you well Micky

Yeah ... I'm heading for 234,567 now
Hi Micky
That's fantastic mileage. How long in general does the clutch last?
Marjie
It certainly doesn't owe me anything JB
Certainly not, with the amount of smiles I've seen it give you it hasn't
Until it wears out, same with any vehicle (unless an oil seal fails and that's Russian roulette)
A crap rider or driver could ruin a clutch in 1000 miles, whilst others could see 200,000 miles on a clutch
How long is a piece of string??
That's fantastic mileage and reliability Micky - must be great to have a bike with so many good memories attached to it
So do the collective of 800 owners reckon the ones built now are as well made and reliable?

And which oil seal would that be?
In the case of a Boxer, either the gearbox or crank seal, but on the F800's it's a wet clutch anyway................so I was generalising

Nice to see your F800GS is going strong! Cracking bikes and wouldn't mind an 800 one day!

What are the miles now Micky?
125,000 miles
Might have had to sell it because it was too heavy to pull on to the centre stand, my new metal knees didn't like it
Fitted the later model 'straight' centre stand in place of the original curved one, much easier to operate
X-ray and final check up with my Consultant and all is well with the knees
2017 and 200,000 miles looking good to go
Photo taken last Sunday after I had cleaned and polished it ...
The day I broke it out of its crate (March 2008) ...
Any part numbers for the new mains stand Micky?
