I feel it coming I think in a few short years evo bikes softails,FXRs,WGs are going to be the bikes to have. I saw a 1990 evo softail that was in mint shape at a bike show a few mons ago with a ton of people around it. Theres nothing like the 90s harleys.....I love my 2003 but they dont have the feel the evo does.
And when that days comes...I'll be ready for it:) |
I would replace the lifters a soon as you can. My '93 was running fine until the wheel bearings on lifter blew apart. got munched up and sent thru the motor.I think it was due to stress from the angle of the push rods. Had just shy of 50k on it. Otherwise ran fine ,no leaks.,,

I bet they won't get that kind of milage from the Cat bikes, 2010 and beyond. The EPA not only killed our performance they just killed our extended service life. The big touring bikes are just to damn hot to turn in those kind of numbers!:( |
I miss my evo, sold it with 60k, had to redo the top end at50k because I over revved it and bent a valve, ran like that for 20k until the vg seal went south, but I had it cammed with a8k rev limiter. If its bone stock leave it alone and ride it. As said clean the screen and always let it warm up before taking off and it should go 100k.

Do you have a repair manual for your evo engine? I clean or replace the screen in mine twice a year which is most likely overkill but it is the way I do things. The screen is located on the lifter side just south of the lifters on a north bound bike. It is under a big flat headed screw driver plug. There is a spring located under the screen. There are two of them type plugs in a row. Only pull the closes one to the lifters and use a good bit.

Not sure if your bike is effected by bad bearings for the cam. some are known to be junk and the fix is a switch to a torrington inner bearing. look into this! Otherwise, if it aint broke, dont fix it!!

Its a 93. you think the bearings would have failed by now? The bikes got 17 years on it, with that history any good mechanic would say "run it".
