How many miles on a evo 1340 before rebuild
 
Hello i have a 93fxdwg that i bought last year with 27000 miles and i put 7000 more on it last year so its got 34,000 now, it still runs great and no leaks or no gasket leaks ,its still stock never been cracked open,should i crack it open and replace something before its too late ,is it ticking time bomb or should it be alright for more .

I had a '86 FLHTC Classic that I put over 100K on before I rebuilt it. ...........If it were mine, I would keep it well serviced and just ride it!:)

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!!

they go long time...........................around 100,000 they start to get cooked. I had a friend who just redid has after about 80,000 hard miles and 2,500 later its like brand new..The bike still ran great even after 80,000 hard miles but he gos far and wanted a over haul. IMO the evos the best thing harley ever made or will make!! dont sell that bike in about 5 years evo bikes are going to be the bikes to have.

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.

My dads 90 FXR has over 80k and no rebuild. When the rocker cover gaskets seeped he changed them, but that was it. He's had it new since 90 and still runs and pulls strong.

Just be sure and clean the screen that filters the oil before the lifters. Too many people forget to clean the screen.

It is well documented that well maintained,properly treated Evo's will easily eclipse the 100k number.Have fun.
