First off.... Excited to be part of the forum!
I'm leaving Hawaii after 13 years for for Spokane, WA. Just sold my XL883L yesterday, looking forward to an FXDXi once in WA.
Where do I go for answers on cam chain tensioner issues/question's? The bike I'm considering is an '05 with 3,500 miles. Will they need replacing right away due to age of bike/low miles. Or can I expect a few thousand more miles from them?
thanks.

Once your past the formalities of the new member section, go to the main menu where they have all the models listed. Keep going down the menu and you'll see the technical section broken down by classifications like oil/engine etc. Find the one that your question is under and relax and read. By the way...Welcome to the HDForum from sunny Arizona...........
Welcome to the forums, new here myself. I'm pretty sure most of the cam chain tensioner issues weren't occurring until you get closer to the 30,000 mark. However I would be replacing them as soon as I could to avoid any future problems.
