I broke the belt of an 883 Sportster. I believe it was a rock. I did not replace the sprockets at this time.

This was a warranty repair of the rear swingarm pivot shaft. One of the bushings had a ding on it and the shaft wore out due to it not rotating correctly in the bushing. The MOCO agreed that the ding was likely from an assembly worker and accepted the warranty claim.

I could do fuel.... 100,000 miles at 93 octane (91 at the lowest).....

This post is information that is not anywhere else.

The prices are a guide to those who are curious about what it costs to maintain a high mileage Harley.

I've seen too many oil arguements supported by lab tests and not real world. My favorite flame in an oil post was "I only wave to Harley's with synthetic oil." Kinda sums up the whole who-do-you-wave-to and what-oil-do-you-usefoolishness.

 

I think this is pretty cool,Most people get one month to a tank of gas.I see you ride yours also,I have a 04 with 52,000 miles on it.I bought it new and put the miles on it myself.My first harley out of thirty seven bikes I have owned.I would have more miles on itbut went through a divorce. I am a single father of two small boy's now. Have changed tires,fluids and one clutch cable.

 

I have forgotten to add that I change the oil and filter every 2,500 miles. The purchase of the oil and filters for this work is not really recorded.
