1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLH 883 review from United States of America

The first few rides during break-in the engine would leak oil from the air cleaner housing. A couple of dealer visits and it seems better now.

Always has had trouble keeping highway speed (65mph) and cannot pass traffic or accelerate very well at highway speeds.

Currently it dies while driving down highway without warning, seems electrical because it is sudden.

Also dies when coming to a stop occasionally.

Rattles a lot (I don't mean vibrates - of course it does that), the sound of metal slapping metal.

In the beginning it had a horrible time when first started each day. Modifying the airbox seems to have helped. It used to die a lot.

Overall the quality is very poor.

Poorly built, poor running.

Not dependable.

Looks nice.
