How To Maintain A Harley Davidson 883?

Welcome to Harley  Davidson Accessories Blog.


To debunk a popular misconception, Harley bikes particularly a Harley Davidson 883 won't cost you an arm and a leg to maintain.

 It wont take much just like any other Japanese motorcycles to maintain. Aside from the basic oil and filter changes, there are no valve adjustments. Anyone with the basic tool kit can do it yourself.

 Here are some of the things you need for your Harley Davidson 883 upkeep:


1. Factory Manual--60 (new) about 30 (used) 


2. Change the oil every 2500-3000 miles. 3 quarts of oil, a 8 dollar filter and a quart of primary fluid. To complete this task you will need a oil filter wrench, a flat blade screw driver, SAE hex keys and a 9/16 wrench. it takes about 20 minutes.


3. If you buy a new one don't let the dealer talk you into a bunch of expensive and unnecessary maintenance. Find a good independent shop to deal with.


Maintenance on a sportster is easy,you can do a lot yourself.However if you don't want to touch it,lots of dealers sell prepaid service.This is cheaper and included in bike price.If you ride a lot its a good buy.Look in to a used Sportster they sell cheap.


5.Oil change,spark plugs,air filter and check your primary chain & final drive belt tension every 5k & that's about it. And an oil change includes the tranny oil too Tires depend on how much you ride & how you ride Burn-outs etc.


6.The HDs have no valve adjustment, have a Kevlar belt which may last you as long as you own your bike (try that with a chain), and you can get longer lasting tires on this type of bike (about 20K miles). HDs are as maintenance free as cars and oil changes are much easier and cheaper.
