Don't know specifically bout 1800 motor but I did know of a 1500 Valk (a few yrs ago) that had 350,000 w/ just a couple of alternators and a final drive.
No reason to believe 1800 couldn't do that also. Just gotta use the right oil.

13 F6B DeluxeI've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!
I ran into a guy at a Valkyrie Rally here in Northern Mich. a couple years ago that had over 300,000miles on his 98 Valkyrie Tour...Don't remember his name or any details as I had sold mine by then and was riding a Victory until my F6B...I do remember him telling us that he had only changed tires, battery, rear gears, and forks I think...Thing looked liked brand new.....
And that is why I bought this bike.
ED209 says RED is faster, you have 20 seconds to comply !
I saw that post on the other site and the post stated he changes oil every 10000
miles and I believe the filter at 5000 miles this is truly the greatest engine for touring
ever put on two wheels.
I wonder how he changes the filter without all the oil falling out.Originally Posted by yellow rex
No Doubt !!!!
My guess ......I wonder how he changes the filter without all the oil falling out.
With a clean oil pan and then pours whatever comes out back into the engine.With that mileage he must be pretty good at changing his filters rather quickly. At 475,000 he has changed his filter 95 times.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
I'm just amazed that his itty bitty computer screen lasted that many miles. Did they even have those back in '02?
"If it moves, paint it."
He attachs a hoist to the front wheel and hangs the bike up in the air.It keeps the oil away from the filter to swap it out quickI wonder how he changes the filter without all the oil falling out.
Ride it like you stole it
Ummmmmmm….will the oil come out if you don’t pull the filler cap? Will what ever pressure keep the oil inside or at least slow enough to re install a filter???
If I remember I will try it next week before heading south, and report back…… I also know of a Rune that went 600 miles with NO fluid in the cooling system, never missed a beat or over heated !!!
