High Mileage Harley
Hi..I am ready to buy a 2006 FXDLI/Dyna Harley with 46,000 miles!!! 2 Owners...No service records!.....This would be my first harley, Would I be making a mistake buying a 46,000 mile 2006?? It runs perfect and everything is in good working order, But this mileage has got me worried... Please respond...Thanks...

Re: High Mileage Harley
Before buying any bike, go over and look at it, check the condition of it. Has it been dropped? Check for scrapes and such. Then if you're not mechanically inclined, have it checked out at a shop. Most shops will charge an hour's labor (usually around 75-110 dollars) and will give you a pretty good idea of the condition of the bike and whether or not it'd be worth it!
Good luck!

Re: High Mileage Harley
if you get that Harley, drain the oil and refill with 20-50. The superior synthetic formula provides for long service life and unsurpassed wear protection. There are multiple testimonies that operating temps run cooler using this oil.
