The clutch spring plate (AKA grenade plate) is one...but that goes for all 5 sp. Sportsters 1991-present
see http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/t..._plate_failure and some fixes at http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/t...ef:priclutch02

If it is like 2014 model, original stator is suspect. Cycle Electric cured mine.

How many miles has it covered?

Obviously the higher the mileage the more things wear out, although the ECM on my 2011 XL883N failed after only 1500 miles from new, the factory warranty was still valid so a new ECU was supplied and fitted by H-D for free. If the warranty had expired it would have cost me Ł600 for the new unit and the installation.
