Hey man I love your videos on the 883. I bought a 2010 883 in January and haven't ridden it yet cause I still need to get it registered and insured but man watching these vids are making me so excited to hop in the seat this summer. Thank you so much sir and much respect.
Man, I got my 2019 iron 883 and I love it. Great bike for town, great for daily riding, commuting to work, highway riding. I only got 200km on it. Haven't even flipped the mirrors yet.
@@Marvelkid87 your videos inspired me to get one. I always wanted it. A lot of people were saying that iron 883 is not good on a highway but they are wrong. The bike is fine, it's just some people are too used to big bikes and big cars.
Just subbed! Great videos! I enjoy seeing the scenery also. My wife is a Jersey girl. We’re in Florida fly up to Elizabeth to see her family. My iron also squeaks rear brakes sometimes. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I'm a new rider and I just got a 2020 Iron 883 with 572 miles on it as my first bike! Love it! I'm 6'3 so I'm gonna be doing a few mods to make it a bit more comfortable as it's completely stock with mid control , but it's way easier to ride than people told me it would be for someone my height!
Look into some T-bars! They don’t really change the position of the stock handlebars (besides height of course) and feel so natural for a tall rider myself. I also have a ‘20 883 and I love it 🤙
@taf005 I ended up installing 14" apes and I absolutely love them! Didn't have to buy a cable kit either, only had to buy a longer brake line, which was only like $15. Best mod yet!
Hey bro, great channel, I love Sportsters, especially the Iron, IMO it’s the best looking bike in their lineup. My buddy has a 2006 883 Roadster with 60,000 mi & never has had any issues at all & he rides it hard, only mod he has is slip ons. My 1200 is 25 yrs old in mint cond, never had any issues, that’s why I stick with a Sportster
Hey Bru, I got the same bike 2016 iron 883 on stage 1 kit. I'm telling you been using that more than 3years now it's my daily commuter to work I live here in Maui Hawaii and I travel pretty much 20miles back and forth it's Very reliable, super.
What up bro, RT 46 , not a bad ride for that time . I havent been riding much. 2018 48. I gotta get out more tho. Inspiration, thats what the vids give me . Gonna have to start getting out more. Keep the vids coming . Ride safe.
That's it! I am getting an 883. I've always wanted to get one and I've seen enough videos proving it would be a great choice. I seen one video of a guy that even owns one but says it's too shaky at highway speeds. All the other videos I've seen show different. I don't need a speed demon. I just want something capable of safely doing highway speeds, should I chose to hit the highway. I've seen that they have plenty in the reserve for passing as well. I have had lots of bikers tell me that I'm too big for an 883. They are the same size as a 1200, less the bigger engine. Last time I went to a Harley dealer, I sat on a 1200 sportster thinking it was an 883, until I looked down at the breather cover.
I've ridden an '05 Sporty and it sits and rides taller than I'm used to. I ride an '01 Rebel that has a seat that is just a canvas covered steel seat pan.
MarvelKid87 Thanks for answering. I really like your comments on the videos, very honest. No bull, just straightforward sharing of down to earth opinions. Keep it up !
My Sportsters rear brake used to do that too, I pulled the pad and put a thin layer of caliper grease on the back of pads and contact points on the caliper. Took care of the noise, you can also use copper anti-seize.
Thank you so much for the review.. Iam really near to buy 883 sportster iron... It's going to be like a dream come true... Just 8 more days to go 😏💖🇮🇳..
i have a 2020 iron 883 ive had it for month and some of the lights on the speedometer flicker the check engine goes on and off the oil light goes on and off and a number of other electrical problem im dropping it off at harley for them to fix. and keep in mind this is a 2020 that ive owned for a month
Ive had my iron for a little over 2 years and it has about 13,000 miles on it (bought it with 2,500 on it) and hasn’t given me any problems. My friends son use to give me crap about Harley’s but he has had to rebuild the motor on his triumph twice in the year and a half to two years he had it.
If it's the same engine design as my 1200 Nightster, I have 68k on the odometer. I've kinda push it hard a lot, ridden it in 115f stop and go. Most of the time it's usually my fault that I need to fix.
Hey how's it going? So yours doesn't use any oil? Mine's brand new 7,000 klms & it's started using oil. It's not leaking & doesn't appear to be blowing smoke but its unfortunately using.
Regarding AMF management: Yes, they were stupid in their management and marketing strategies. However, they are responsible for engineering the new Evo (Evolution) motor for the Big Twins (80ci/1340cc) and for the Sportster (883cc and 1200cc). Unfortunately, since then H-D stopped making the Big Twin motor in spite of a loyal following. But the good news is the Sportster motor continues...at least as long as the EPA will allow it.
That's funny how you say other people mention that Harley Davidson is not reliable my friend on a Kawasaki ninja and his broke down at least 10 times and the year versus my sportster which has never failed on me and the same Timeframe. Given that my sportster has 25000 miles
I definitely agree with your video by the way bro I have a 2016 Roadster pushing 12000 miles now absolutely no problems I personally change the oil every 2002 2500 weather needs it or not :-) check it out if you want Harley-Davidson Roadster Willie G Style ride safe be blessed
Yea and they are junk clutch will fall apart at 20k buy a Yamaha Raider its great bike for big guy and has a ton of power 883 will not be good for highway cruising. These bike are bar hopping bikes.
Check out XLFORUM.NET to find confirmed cases of Evo Sportster's going over 200K miles. It isn't the fastest or best handling but it is probably the most durable, reliable and easy to fix motorcycle on the market. I bought my 2005 XL883 Standard which had been sitting in a garage for years and covered in dust with less than 10K miles on it for only $2500 including many accessories. I've done no repairs, a tune-up and a few DIY mod's for further reliability which didn't cost much. Now with over 10K more miles on it, it has never failed to start first time and runs perfectly. I replaced the original tires which looked good but were too old and now I'm ready to replace another pair simply because of all the miles on them. Love it!!!!
I own a 2019 Iron 883. It’s red, it’s beautiful, iconic and great fun to ride. I love it!
Andres B what’s ur top speed
I got my 883 roadster as a Father's day gift and from my wife and kids, great bike love it.
I just got my 2019 Iron 883, 3 weeks ago. Mine is denim black great riding bike. I love this bike, and will purchase another one next year.

Im getting one in a couple of months, are those mirrors standard stock?
Yeah I think so. I also flipped my stock ones.
I own a 2019 883 iron. Love this bike.
It’s super fun to ride
Me too just got it a month ago!!
Cheers brother! 2019 iron 1200 owner curpin in here.
My ‘89 1200 had over 100K on it when I got rid of it. Love a sporty.
Nice video brother!!! If a lady hadn’t crashed into me. I’d still be riding my Sportster. But now I’ve got a new Softail
i own a IRON 883 .2019 model and I love it !
It’s so much fun to ride! 👌🏽😎
MarvelKid87 so is that a gas light? I thought those didn’t have a fuel light
turtle19dad They don’t have a fuel gauge but they do have a low fuel light that comes on when the tank has about 1/3 left I believe.
Just subbed! Great videos! I enjoy seeing the scenery also. My wife is a Jersey girl. We’re in Florida fly up to Elizabeth to see her family. My iron also squeaks rear brakes sometimes. Keep up the good work!
Hey man thanks for the sub and support! I’m glad you liked the video ride safe brother.

Wow that must be a beautiful scenery riding in Hawaii
@@Marvelkid87 oh yeah brother you have no idea how beautiful it is.

48 is a gorgeous bike!
I’m getting mine three weeks from now, I’m so stoked 😎
I have a '19 883. I had a crank position sensor leak after 1 month. Dealer fixed it. No problems now.
Oh that sucks
My fiance and I bought a 2020 Iron 883 this past August and its beautiful ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻

I think my 2016 Iron is great....a bit more power would be nice, but it’s pretty good. Greetings from Portugal !!
Hey what’s up man!!! And yes I totally agree at times u just want a little more but it gets the job doen
MarvelKid87 Thanks for answering. I really like your comments on the videos, very honest. No bull, just straightforward sharing of down to earth opinions. Keep it up !
I also have a 2019 Iron and the rear break squeaks as well
I've had my 2019 iron for about a year and have the same issue with my breaks. Guess it's common.
My Sportsters rear brake used to do that too, I pulled the pad and put a thin layer of caliper grease on the back of pads and contact points on the caliper. Took care of the noise, you can also use copper anti-seize.
The rear brakes squeak on my 2019 Iron 1200 as well. No matter what I do. They function perfectly though.
You need to lubricate the contact points between the caliper and pads with a copper based brake grease.
I just got my first bike sporster 2015l lowride and im happy to start moding
Thank you so much for the review..
Iam really near to buy 883 sportster iron...
It's going to be like a dream come true...
Just 8 more days to go 😏💖🇮🇳..
👍🏽
@@Marvelkid87 Thanx👍👍
Mahendra Dada , congratulations
@@righteousoriginministries4685 Thank you so much🙏🙏👍👍💖💖
Stay discipline buddy .
I've done 7k on my 2016 Superlow 883 no issues apart from changing tyres and oil after my first 5k KMs
Sweet...
How do you flip the mirrors and actually see out of them
i have a 2020 iron 883 ive had it for month and some of the lights on the speedometer flicker the check engine goes on and off the oil light goes on and off and a number of other electrical problem im dropping it off at harley for them to fix. and keep in mind this is a 2020 that ive owned for a month

Lmaooo classic!
Hey bro cool video very informative silly question though what kind of gloves are those that you are sporting
If it's the same engine design as my 1200 Nightster, I have 68k on the odometer. I've kinda push it hard a lot, ridden it in 115f stop and go. Most of the time it's usually my fault that I need to fix.
Oh, yeah. It started to seep oil at the rocker covers at 35k, changed the gaskets myself, wasn't to hard.
Likeeeeeeeee antes de começar o vídeo!!!!
Braaaaabo D+
Did you have to deal with overheating???
Do harleys have a gear indicator so that you can see in which gear your bike is using?
Vincent Maier my 2019 Iron 883 came with a gear indicator when I bought it
Yes
Yes you can switch the clock to show gear and rpm ratio
Hey how's it going? So yours doesn't use any oil? Mine's brand new 7,000 klms & it's started using oil. It's not leaking & doesn't appear to be blowing smoke but its unfortunately using.
brett mcmahon do u have aftermarket intake it might be slobbering. Check bottom of air cleaner for oil.
Yea that’s the reason why maybe
Jorge it's stock except for the V&H slip ons. I will check thanks for the help.

Check out the mods I did to my 2018 iron 883
For all sportster rider where u guys keep your registration ? Just wondering
On one of the forks
Folded up in my wallet
In the red zipper pocket on jacket.
You live in Jersey? That road looks familiar...lol
Yea
Same here looks too familiar lol
Hi, is this a good begginner bikes? Planning to get the 883 as well
Yea it’s excellent for beginners
Paolo5871 Paolo5871 I say go soft tail or dyna. Unless you only drive around town in my opinion .
I’m currently on a iron 1200 going for a low rider
Hi brother.. when u put your slip on exhaust did you put fuel pack to?
No I didn’t
That's funny how you say other people mention that Harley Davidson is not reliable my friend on a Kawasaki ninja and his broke down at least 10 times and the year versus my sportster which has never failed on me and the same Timeframe. Given that my sportster has 25000 miles
Sorry using talk to text. Lol
What’s top speed
Im 6 feet tall, wonder if it’s still comfortable to ride.
Get forward controls for it.
is your bike stock exhuast? sounds great
No I have Vance and Hines slip on’s on it
Wait a minute... is the question really "How reliable is the Iron 883"? If so, here's the answer: How reliable is an axe handle?
I broke one in a day. Wats your point.
I definitely agree with your video by the way bro I have a 2016 Roadster pushing 12000 miles now absolutely no problems I personally change the oil every 2002 2500 weather needs it or not :-) check it out if you want Harley-Davidson Roadster Willie G Style ride safe be blessed
Too small for a 6ft 215 guy?
Yea I think so... unless u get forward controls but still
I'm the same size as you, yeah its way to cramped with mids. I'd rather ride a dyna
Yea and they are junk clutch will fall apart at 20k buy a Yamaha Raider its great bike for big guy and has a ton of power 883 will not be good for highway cruising. These bike are bar hopping bikes.
Fill up your tank lol
Only 2000 miles after a year. I put 2000 miles on my Sportster after a few months.
I had it away for the whole winter time .....
@@Marvelkid87 oh makes sense. I live in Florida. No snow here, but a lot of rain in the summer, but I still ride in the rain.

Reliability? Let’s have this discussion when you put at least 30,000 miles on it😁
All Harleys suck bigtime when it comes to reliability issues.
You're thinking of BMW or a Ducati.
