Here's a question to chew on on a dreary February evening. Assume conservative driving, synthetic oil, and all HD specified regular maintenance performed faithfully. How many miles is it reasonable to expect out of a Twin Cam engine, tranny, clutch, charging system, etc.? What's the highest mileage you personally know of before more than routine maintenance was required? Which component is likely to be the first to fail?

 

follow your owners manual!

 

You can expect somewhere between 1,000 and 300,000 miles before major overhaul.

 

are they uphill ??
is your passanger more than 400 lbs?
did you exchange your summer air for winter air in your tires?

 

yeh the summer air makes all the difference

that and changing the blinkerfluid and muffler bearings on a regluar schedule
and dont forget to check your aircooled antifreeze

 

great answer

 

The biggest difference is the 400lb passenger, Geeeeeez, you may not make 1000miles. Time to tradedown and not the scoot

 

Mawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaa.

 

74,565.42 mile

 

I was told to use Harley air in my tires, or it may void my warranty.
