    THANKS!! The best and the only site that explains to me the lack of Power in my 883. I recently bought a new cap and I’ve noticed the vapor release when I opened it. My bad ´cause the cap is one that I bought in that “wish” app

    Now that you’ve fully serviced your Harley Sportster, you can take the opportunity to check all of the safety features on the bike. Make sure the lights are working properly, the horn makes noise, turn signals are operational, and all grommets are in place.
