Miles on Nomad?
Curious how many miles have people put on their Nomad. I've heard some have put over 200,000 on their Nomad without major work.... I don't have many compared to others at 64,000 or so. '07 Nad.

76k miles on my 06 before engine broke. I have lots of aftermarket stuff for sale if anyone interested contact me at ldhthept@gmail.com

I ran my 05 nomad 65000 miles with only cam chain adjuster extensions and I beat the shit out of it. sold it 2 years ago still running excellent
|
I personally saw a Nomad with 200k on the clock being traded in on a new Harley at the dealership, original everything. Before we sold it as a used bike, I had to put new joints in the driveshaft, and redo the cam chain adjusters, cause they were at the end of their travel....slight timing chain slap....

When properly maintained, there is hardly any Japanese model motorcycle that won't go at least 100,000 miles. Same for a lot of European bikes since the 70s. Same for Harleys, if properly maintained. And in all cases, a properly maintained bike, ridden regularly, will easily go a lot more than 100,000 miles. I know BMW riders, with 200,000 to 500,000 miles on their bikes, often with no internal engine work.
Some bikes have known issues, like the plastic oil pump gear in the VN1500 (damn purchasing dept sourcing a cheaper gear than the metal one). Once that gear is replaced the 1500 will also go very high miles. All comes down to maintenance and regular use. |

Nomad miles
140k on my 2005 before i sold it. Cam chains lasted 85k miles before running out of adjustment on the tensioners with extenders installed. Bike still ran good but was using just a tad of oil. Adding a quart about every 1500 miles...now riding a 2019 Voyager 1700.

67,XXX on mine and still going strong (knock on wood). I have installed the tensioner extenders back at around 35K but not sure how long they last. No issues thus far but I don't ride too hard. Getting ready to do a 2,400 mile 8 day camping trip across 4 states.
