2000 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLH 883 review from United States of America
"Classic V Twin perfection!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Output shaft seal, bad when new, replaced free by the dealer.
Positive battery cable broke, made too short at factory. After a 2 hour search for the problem, fixed by owner.
General comments?
Has been a very reliable, fun, economical motorcycle.
Handles very good.
Got 19,361 miles from the original front Dunlop tire!!!
19,361 miles on the front brakes pads, and they're still good. (And yes, I use the front brake HARD!)
Averages 45 MPG in town, got a high of 61 MPG on a back road cruise.
