Circa 230 km for one round-Mt Fuji trip (Hayama-Hakone-Gotemba-Fujinomiya-Narusawa-Fujiyosida- Gotemba-Matsuda-Enoshima-Hayama). Thanks for your interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhasegawa Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Actually, for the last six months after reaching 130,000 km, fairly severe troubles arose. 1. Rupture (fracture) of the base of the left fender stay (both front and rear sides). This portion seems to be the center of vibration stress. My meister finally treat with welding with a center steel core, just like, the treatment of fracture of aged person's femoral bone with artificial graft core. 2. Engine start trouble, which is treated with change of ignition coil (Lucas sport). I push hard to reach 140,000 km mileage. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamericano Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) "I push hard to reach 140,000 km mileage." Go, Doc, go! Those Birkin fender stays are a well known Birkin weak point. I replaced 2 in 10 years, though the car is c.30 years old. Welding worked well. I also got a new replacement from Tom Carlin and it had additional ribs that obviously make it stronger. Good luck.
