Hi,

I'm about to purchase an Iron 883 with 500 miles, manufactured in 2020. The owner hasn't used it much, and the motorcycle looks like brand new.

Could you recommend any checklist? It is my first time buying a Harley Davidson.

Thank you very much!

 

Sorry, I posted in the wrong subforum. Could an admin please move it to the correct one? Thanks and apologies.

Check Cycle Trader for price ranges before you leap...

Tires should be OK for another couple of years. Plan to replace all the fluids and likely the battery (buy a battery tender regardless). Start planning your upgrades. Ride...repeat...enjoy...

 

Wheels ... make sure it has Wheels

 

Make sure it runs. It's been sitting for years. Fuel gels up.

 

I’d check inside the gas tank for rust. It’s going to need a battery if not now then soon.

 

If the oil looks low but still in view don't ad any till after it has been ran. Oil tends to leak down into the engine crankcase when they sit for long periods.

 

Here is an overall checklist for buying a used bike. Take what you want from it, some points will apply, some will not. Happy reading and learning.

See Attached Checklist

 

Thank you, everyone, it helped! I have already purchased it. Now it's time to enjoy it

 

Congrats. The bike is only 4 years old. I doubt you'll have any issues. Have fun and ride safe.
