Engine Life Expectancy?
Just wondering what kind of average life expectancy stock engines have? I know there are limitless contributing factors to this question but lets just assume under ideal conditions of proper maintenance and care.
I previously had an 01 sportster 1200, had it for three years and put 25,000 miles on it. I did all my own maintenance, used synthetic fluids in everything, and never had a problem one with it.
Now Ive got my 07 Night Train and using it as my daily driver I'll be racking up about 20,000 miles a year, primarily highway.
I know the 96 CI engines in the 07s havent beenout very long but wondering if anyone has any expectations?
Just curious, thanks.

RE: Engine Life Expectancy?
That motor should see 200,000 miles left stock. Higher seat pressure valve springs in the hi-Performance builds haven't been run enough to see what effect on the cam plate yet. I don't see any real problem arising as of yet.
