Well I made the 100,000 mile mark on my 2006 St1300 this weekend. So I am requesting the 100k award please. Thanks.

Way to go! Have you had any mechanical issues with your bike since new? Plan on riding another 100k or upgrading to another bike?

No issues at all, just maintenance issues. Just installed new wheel bearings all around, new tapered steering bearings, new Sonic springs and fork seals. Main thing has been tires :D. I do have the water pump starting to leak just a little sometimes, that will be next winter project. I did replace the thermostat first year. Valves have been check twice all within spec, a little on the tight side.

I too have an 06 but only 94K as I don't have as much time to ride these days. Just curious on the steering head bearings if you replaced because they were loose or just as a precaution?

Loose, slow speed shake at slow down, like slowing for entering a town.

Update: :)

Okay, Marvin (my :06biker:) hit the 100k mark on 5/23/16. But today I hit the 100k mark on Marvin. Bought my ST1300a with 4,728 miles on it, today I hit 104,728 miles. I know, I know I had back issues, it was a short mile year, all good now. Hope to hit 120k by seasons end.
