with proper maintenance how many miles should you expect your motor to last, or at what point(mileage) do you look at rebuilding the motor, the reason im asking is my 04 already has 30 k miles on it, i mean whats the expected life span of a bikes motor....b4 you say read the manual i dont have access to one thanks in advance.
2004 dyna lowrider
1450
300000 miles and counting!

 

Hard to say. Kind of depends on the bike, the conditions it is ran under, and the maintenance. Some bikes won't ever make it to 100,000. Some may go 200,000 before it needs serious attention.

It wasn't that long ago, a car engine usually needed to be rebuilt or replaced by the time they hit 100,000. Now days they last much longer. Usually.

One thing I do know. If you worry about it, you won't ride as much.

 

what the above guy said 100,000 min if you take care of it

 

Be good to her and she'll be good to you!!!

 

04, 30,000 miles, ain't even broke in yet. My brother's 04 RoadKing has 120,000 plus and he's never had to do anything except keep the fluids changed and the normal routine maintenance. He's on the road to South Dakota on it as I write this. I've never kept the same bike long enough to rack up those kind of miles on one but it's nice to know that it's achievable. Oh BTW, he's only ever used Harley oil and filters.

 

thanks folks i was just curious and youve gave me some good insight
