I have been looking at a few bikes and I ran across a 2006/883, Carbed. 29271miles.

Question, does the 2006 in this class/model/883 have the same problems as the other 2006 models I have read about regarding the primary bearing etc?

Thanks,
Jim

 

I am not at all familiar with the bearing problem you reference. I have a 2005 XL1200R and have never heard of a primary bearing problem, and the 2005 & 2006 Roadsters are virtually identical. Can you elucidate on the primary bearing issue?

Thanks!

 

I found out that the problem is not with these models. I forgot it was when they went w/the 6spd tranny.

Inner primary bearings are a Big Twin problem. Sportsters don't even utilize the same setup.

 

OK cool, thank you-didn't know that.

You are probably thinking for the problem with the cranks....

 

Relax Jim, no problems! If you buy then enjoy it, probably the best Sporty made IMHO. We still get that model over here in the UK.......

 

Thanks again, new to all this and studying a lot of things to learn to make a decision.
