I have 2024 and I already have 6k miles I bought the bike at the beginning of the summer and rode only on the weekends, I guess im trying to see what's the highest milage M8 in the forum , has anyone buts a 100k, this include 107 114 117 all M8 owners

 

75,000 100% trouble free miles on my 2020 114 stock oil cooled powertrain .. have 18,500 miles on my 9 month old 2024 RG 117 with an SE AC and SEPST calibration

 

Google the book by Chris Hopper "Thunder Across America". He did 100,000 miles in 100 days (consecutive) on his bone stock 2020 RGL.

 

You should probably post this in the Milwaukee 8 subforum, then.

 

60K on a 114 no. problems

 

Yeah, pretty impressive! There was a couple of threads on here about, and during the trip.

I think Chris now has 200,000 miles on the same bike.

 

1,048 on a VVT and still going strong!

 

Our respected member @scott7d has 186k miles on his M8.

Here is a good link to details. Go to post #5.

Copied from that post:
For what it's worth, my 2020 CVO Road Glide has over 186,000 miles and has been great. The few things it's needed outside of normal maintenance:

1. New front compression release at 140,000.
2. Stator started to go at 170,000, replaced that and the voltage regulator.
3. Each O2 sensor has been replaced once.
4. General cam chest service at 150,000.
5. New knock sensors at 180,000.

Aside from that, the bike has never left me stranded or needed any kind of work from something that made it unrideable. 17 Iron Butt rides with this bike, and lots of miles from sub-freezing temps to triple digits. Most would even say I stretch my oil change intervals out too far, as well.

Will everyone have this kind of luck? Probably not. But at 60k I don't think anything would be on the verge of exploding any time soon. However, I would check that the oil pump has been updated. That occurred in late 2019.

 

I won't win any awards for the little 72K on my first gen 2017.
I will say that its 72K miles riding it back and forth to work mostly, mixed with a handful of 5K trips here and there. It's not 200K in highway miles....
For the majority of it's life it's been cold started, run 24 miles, shutdown/cooled off, and then 8 hours later, cold started, run another 24 miles home 5 days a week for the last 8 years without fail.

Besides updating the oil pump during a Cam install, it's all stock motor wise. Seeing the new designs I'm thinking of holding on to this one forever. Maybe it'll hit 200K one day.

 

I appreciate the acknowledgement. It's got 191,000 now. Still running great. Actually did another Iron Butt with my wife yesterday. Hoping for our first 50k year. 44,000 in so far for 2024.

Chris Hopper has been mentioned already. I know his 2021 is well over 200k. That dude is a freak.
