My friend is looking at this bike 5500.00 stage 2. SE is that motor an EVO it has 38000 on her good deal? Great condition

 

Price seems fair, but the cam chain tensioners should be replaced, that's around 900-1000 at an indy. The motor is a Twin Cam, not an evo

 

I think it's a little high. Also, if it's fuel injected, check to see if it's MM or Delphi. I forget when Delphi began. If it's MM, I'd pass.

 

I believe 2002 was the year they went Delphi

 

twin cam with spring tensioners and MM fuel injection. service history will tell if the bike is a deal or a time bomb. MM injection is kind of a bastard child around here, bur mine works well. they dont like other than stock ssetups, as it is not a closed loop system (no o2 sensors to monitor mixture), and retuning is non-existant. most go back to carb when MM injection craps out

 

Thanks. That's what I was looking for

 

My old 01 FLHT had a carb, worked great.
I did the tensioners at about 40,000.
They still had some life left but were brittle (so it's a good idea to change them IMHO).
If you are handy with a wrench they are not that hard to do (just takes a little time).
I think it cost me just over $100 to do it myself.
As much as I love FI bikes, there is something about the old carbed bike with the that low idle sound.

 

My addl .02... The TC88, I owned 2. Never had a stitch of problems with either. Is it a time bomb - f, no... You just have to replace the tensioners which is not a design defect but a maint item..

 

hey ....what is mmfuel injection and why a time bomb

 

Seems like a fair price. Just make sure the cam chain tensioners were recently inspected or replaced.
