I’ve been looking to buy a sportster on different websites when I found a 1988 883xlh with 1000 miles listed on it. I don’t understand how a bike could be out for that long and keep the miles so low. If the mileage posted is true then it is a great buy but I’m just leary of getting cyber burned

let me get this before the haters do: dont worry dude, a harley would never run long enough or well enough to go 100k miles. lol! seriously though, lotsa people buy a bike and never ride it. look for other signs of never being ridden… original tires (lots of tread but lots of dry rot, cracked sidewalls), lotsa varnish in the carb, icky gas in the tank, etc. side note: if you’re gonna ride a lot i’d look for something post-1991. five-speed sportsters are way more rideable than 4-speed models.

lots of years and many many miles on sportsters.

………………….

Look for wear on the rest of it. After that many miles(rollover), use would show.
It is entirely possible to find a 20 year old bike with low miles, I’ve bought a few. Those were mostly Hondas.
An old Harley with low miles is easier to find. There are some that are ridden, and some that aren’t. A Sportster has been considered an “entry” bike for a long time. A number of people buy motorcycles and then find they don’t really like to ride. It happens.

……………

go to the state you live in department of transportation and request a title search and include the state inspection and insurance records that list the mileage if the bike changed hands, or when it was inspected, or when the insurance was renewed.
and if you see a discrepancy, file a claim of fraud

……………….

i bought an ‘88 sporty 883 in 2000 that had 3900 original miles on it. there are a few out there.
indian joe has a very good point. the speedo could have been changed. especially if the bike has been modified. condition of the bike should tell you a lot. if it looks like a new bike with all original paint and parts, it might be that low mileage.

………………….

I would look real close at it Or maybe the speedo doesnt even work or not the orig for the bike

50 miles a year ???

………………….

I was tempted to say that the only way to tell if the odometer has been rolled over on a Sportster is to look for dents on the tank and fenders. I had an 88 - 883 that I sold to one of my kids. He still has it. That year Sportster has the Evolution motor and it’s a good one.
Regarding the bike you might buy, ask the owner why it only has 1000 miles. It could be that he just didn’t like to ride it, or he just needed garage jewelry.
Take a careful look at the rubber on the foot pegs and shifter. There shouldn’t be much wear at all. I have a new bike with low miles and live in flat land, the little whiskers are still on the outside edges of the tires because there just aren’t that many curves where I live and I haven’t gotten away.
With only 1000 miles the tires should have lots of tread and tires don’t need to be changed every thousand miles. The tires might be new because the old ones rotted. Rotted tires are better in this case since they may be original.
Look at the tank and fenders carefully. Do they look like they have only been on the road for 1000 miles. look for stone chips on the front fender edges and inside and look at the lower frame for stone chips. The fewer the better.
Look at the number tags. Do they look like they have been repainted or painted over.
Look at the engine carefully and see if the numbers on the engine case look original or tampered with.
Ask if the owner has any documentation on the bike like original sales orders, service records like the 500 mile oil change.
I bought my Sportster with a broken Speedometer and changed it. WOW, back to 0 miles on the odometer! It became an instant low mileage bike. Look at the other sighs of miles on the road.
Even with only 1000 miles, the bike is just an old bike and not worth a whole lot of money. Make sure it runs.
If you are going to pay a lot of money for it, take it to a dealer for an inspection.
This bike will never be a collector’s item but you can ride it and have fun

Also in a hybrid, if the battery goes dead, can you run the car with the engine only? What is voltage rating of the electric motor of a hybrid?

New-from-the-factory hybrid cars currently sold in the U.S. typically carry an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty on the hybrid battery.

During that period, if the battery fails (which very rarely happens), the cost to replace the battery is FREE. Covered by the warranty.

Just make sure you don’t void the warranty by doing things like crash the car, tamper with the system or abuse it by doing things like deep-discharging it.

If after 8 years your warranty expires and the battery starts to fail, YOU DO NOT BUY A NEW BATTERY. That would be the MOST STUPID thing you can do– Why put a brand-new $2500 traction battery into an 8-year-old car? It’s just as foolish as buying a brand-new engine to put into an 8-year-old clunker.

Buy a refurbished battery for around $600 or so, drive the car for a few more years, then get a new car.

Very interesting questions. I was in a Honda dealership in 2004 for a purchase of vehicle. I live in a rural region. The secretary on the floor chatted with me as I awaited the people to clear out my car for the new Honda. She remarked ” I think we have the battery powered Honda (one of them) as “window dressing.” The sales people confirmed the idea was just of satisfy the public and not to sale them because they had nobody trained to deal with the mechanical issues you discuss. Some people in our little town of 60 K people seem to feel pleased with their hybrid. But, maybe they have not asked the questions you pose today. I cannot think of a case for hybrid in rural America. Most people share that view “around here.” Hope you get some informed responses. It is a good question and hybrid may be great in the urban setting.

I dont know when I need to add more gas, which results in me being stranded in random places. HELP!

It’s probably one of two things. Thought one the float in your tank is stuck all the way up. Thought two your tank sending unit or wiring to it is malfunctioning. Looks like it is time to drop the fuel tank. If you can drain it do it if not purposely run it out of gas close to your house and keep a small container of fuel in your trunk, just enough to make it home. Pull tank if you have the ability or take it in. If you do it yourself you can do it for less than $100 if you go to a shop $300-$400. Good luck.

……………….

replace sending unit . it will be costly

Okay my Husband likes to talk about cars but I could care less and so my sisters tom boy friend has been around a lot talking about cars with him and I am a bit jealous! please help me know what to talk about with him

ask him “what are the advantages and disadvantages of an OHV engine and how does it compare to an OHC engine”

wait out his long speech and nod your head from time to time then expect incredible sex later that evening.

A pleaseant (IMHO) way to learn about a car a two places. The funny one is car talk (click and clack the tappet brothers) from NPR. You can learn enough to ask smart questions and then go to howstuffworks.com and find out if they know what they’re talking about.

……….

Yes its possible you have to decide which set up you want. They make an after market unit that hangs under the dash that’s pretty big and gaudy. then you can order after market parts and pieces from LMC truck parts which are omc replicas.or you can go to a junk yard and get all necessary pieces . Good Luck

PS aint none of these options gonna be cheap.

………….

Yes. Some places sell the conversion kits to add A/C but they can be expensive. You could find a similar truck that had A/C and move it over to yours. It will be a lot of work, make sure you have a free day or two to do it.
Best advice, make due with rolling the windows down.

…………..

How old is the truck? GM may have a complete kit, but it’ll be costly.

1. Nope, this is not possible in the conventional airplanes.

However, there are some fighter planes and jets that have this capability to stay (hover) at one position in the sky.

2. obsolutely no

only jet planes and choppers can do that

3. it sure can, and you can even go back wards…. I have done it many times. If you fly a smaller aircraft, and are flying at an airspeed of 50 knots, and you are flying into a head wind at 50 knots… your effective ground speed it ZERO. A few years ago I was “hovering” above the Lincoln NE airport run way… I sat at the same spot, and even was moving backwards, due to my a/c speed was the same or less than the head wind speed. On the larger a/c they fly faster and are more powerful, yet the head wind still reduces their ground speed for the same reason. Now when I turned my a/c around ,my ground speed was well over 150 knots, and I was only at 75% throttle.

4. Yeah, to a certain extent.

Trimmed properly, low altitude, fixed wing aircraft will maintain the last course set by the pilot and maintain altitude and airspeed.

Hands off flying at higher altitudes is better left to the autopilots the more complex aircraft are equipped with. Trying to maintain control of the airplane manually, (hand flying,) above certain altitudes, depending on the aircraft, is a little like trying to balance a postage stamp on the point of a needle.

At lower altitudes, fixed wing aircraft will basically fly themselves as pilots grope around for the chart in the seat back pocket, or use the relief tube, (if you don’t know, you don’t want to,) or concentrate on trying to find an approach plate in a Jepp’s book.

5. It can deffintely be done. During initial flight training it’s called slow flight. This is doen more in smaller aircraft like Cessna’s and Piper’s. You place the aircraft into the wind, flaps fully down. Point the nose up and apply throttle. In perfect conditions you can actually go bacwards in a non-VTOL aircraft/Helicopter. I did this once while earning my pilot’s license with Embry-Riddle down in Daytona Beach Florida. Got a lot of finger’s pointing up at me from the beach when I was “backing” my C172 south along the beach while the nose was pointed north.

6. Yes it can. Have done it many times when I see a bird coming on my way, I just stop and let him go .

7. If a plane flies into a 100 mph wind at airspeed of 100 mph it will appear to have stopped in mid-air relative to someone on the ground

8. well some times if you are moving in a car in the opposite direction of a low level flying aircraft, and between you and the aircraft, and in your filed of vision their is an object like a high building for instance, the air craft would seem like its not moving, eyes plying games…

9. Sure it’s possible. Even possible to go backwards. Fly a hundred knotts airspeed into a hundred fifty knott headwind you’ll go backwards over the ground at fifty knotts.

10. yes and no
no for commercial airliners…use some common sense lol they’re way too big for that
yes, take the Harrier for example. it is a VTOL aircraft..Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft. i’ve seen a documentary on the national geographic channel and the jet engines rotate vertically to propel the plane up.

Everyone likes to get attention, and many especially love it when their car is the object of praise. That is because many people, especially men, put a lot of effort into having an outstanding car. So, obviously, when someone tells them how amazing it is it makes them feel good and proud about not only the car, but themselves as well. There are many ways to make your car look great. You can have it washed and waxed every week, you can get accessories, and engine modifications, and more. However, there is only one thing that will really complete your vehicle’s look and that is a set of custom made wheels. There are many different brands on the market, but some of the best are Vellano wheels. Ask anyone that drives a luxury or sports vehicle that is into custom wheels what brand is best and they will likely recommend Vellano forged wheels. It is because these wheels are top of the line and make your car look more luxurious than before. Anyone interested in getting more attention or making their car look better than ever should consider custom made forged wheels. It is an investment in the vehicle, because custom wheels are not cheap, and they will increase the car’s value as well.

Yes fine, no damge can be caused so long as the engine is running. However, damage occurs when you shift from neutral to Drive while the car is going at speed. This causes the gearing AND engine some stress as it attempts to compensate for your instruction i.e. travelling 80k then slamming it into 1st 2nd 3rd or Drive.

My absolute first recommendation for a starter bike is this: Old, cheap, and pre-scuffed. You almost certainly will go down, and in fact, I recommend putting your trainer bike over at least once to get the feel of the weight of it, and practice techniques of lifting it up without assistance.

I’d only recommend an inline 4-cylinder sport bike as a starter bike if you’re a large guy, or it has a very small engine, like a 250-400cc. In-line 4 cyclinder engines are…sporty…which means they’re rev-happy by nature, with clutches that grab quickly, and if you’ve never had a throttle in your hand, it can be unforgiving of mistakes–literally throwing you when you don’t expect it.

I’d recommend a more mellow V-twin which has low-end torque a lower powerband, and a smoother clutch. Alot of old standards fit this category. The seat height is also more manageable than sport bike configurations so it’s easier to balance. And you can get them used and cheap.

I don’t know where your standing in life is, where you live, or how big you are, but I’m assuming you’re not living in a country that restricts you to lower cc engines while learning, and I’m assuming you’re pretty average in weight/height, and that you’re planning on holding on to this bike for a little. In the States, while 250cc’s make terrific starter bikes, you’ll typically grow out of them within a year or so, because they’re a bit under-sized for highways. They’ll do 70mph fine actually, but boy are those little engines working hard to keep up! If the idea of swiching bikes next season seems like a hassle to you, trying for a 400-600cc standard may be stretching you at first, but if you’re careful while learning, you’ll probably enjoy it for a bit longer. Where would I start? Model names go all over the place depending on your country. Rebel 250’s/Nighthawk 250’s are the standard around here. Suzuki Savage (now called the boulevard?), Yamaha Virago’s These are all good starting points. The engine size will be dependent on how big you are, and how much physical aptitude you have. Personally…I hopped on a motobecane moped…then a scooter…then a Yamaha Heritage Special 400, then things just kept getting bigger and bigger… Enjoy the ride. And wear your protection bcs wearing stuff like shorts and flipflops on a bike is not only foolish, but looks just downright amateur.
