2003 XB9S 29K miles. Noises inside motor, dealer found metal shavings and lots of them. $3K for a rebuild on the motor. I need to find a used motor or used bike to get it fixed. This is a bummer. |

Yeesh! Sorry to hear that- mine took a dump at about 23K, but I got lucky- I worked for several years at my local HD/BUELL dealer, managed to get a good motor from my buddy there, the service writer, for $500- a few more Benjamins for my independent wrench to install, I was back on the road. Good luck- keep an eye peeled here for a replacement. Salvage yards with a good rep too... |

IF (BIG IF) you have a trustworthy dealer and you can't do the rebuild yourself, and IF he's willing to do it for $3K, that may be the best way. Used motors seem to be going for $1500 and then you're starting with an unknown situation. These motors are simple to work on BUT splitting the cases and re-packing the tranny and some other things means you will need some special tools not likely to be found in the garage (and too pricey to just buy from Hardley) |

Nevermind that 12 nonsense. Go with an 1169 or at least a 1050... |
