There's something to be said for the simplicity of a carburator. When I did my 06 all I had to do was change the jets and enrich the mixture during break in.
Narrowband sensors are actually more accurate than wideband sensors, but it can only detect where fuel mixture leaner or richer than stoichiometric. Where wideband can give you current fuel mixture value across wide range.
That's false. Narrowband sensors can only approximate AFRs between 14.0-15.0. Wideband sensors are far more accurate across a much wider band and give you a precise AFR reading
That feeling he describes about having pride in doing that modification with his own hands and it works, that how I felt when I got my pillion seat bag to mount when it wouldn't at first.
Love the Powervision on my 09 883. Running it since 2013, with many many autotune sessions. Recently installed the wideband kit. Bike runs like a champ, even with no actual dyno time.
You can really give that bike longer highway legs, if you change the belt and trans pulley out to the euro spec 1200 units. Really lowers the rpms on the highway. I also changed the primary chain and sprocket, when my stator went out, to the 1200 units. That lowers the rpms even more. It depends on the year whether or not there is a difference in the 883 vs 1200 primary gearing. Some years were identical. I also swapped out the 3.3 for the 4.5 gallon tank and with that set up, I could get about 200 miles out of a tank full. I had more range than most of the touring bikes I ride with lol. I really miss that bike.
7:07 For those wondering; VE = Volumetric Efficiency (a measure of an engine's capability in % to fully fill it's cylinders with ambient air at any given RPM for a given throttle position). If that's still confusing, then think of the words AIR DENSITY. It's a comparison of how much total air mass is entering the cylinders on the intake stroke vs how much air mass would theoretically enter if the cylinder was set to ambient conditions when the intake valve closes. That's where the percent portion comes in. If you still need further clarification, feel free to leave a reply.
It says to wait 10 seconds, but it actually takes 16 to 20 to reset. If you watch the speedo, the needle will slightly move when it resets on a sportster. Sadly, it doesn't work the same way on the Dyna. I always count to 30 just to be sure.
Better check if you got the wires for the fuel injectors right. There's a front and a rear, & when in autotune if they're reversed- the bike will run shiddy & stall. Found this out the hard way, guy that did the 1200 kit on my old sporty fugged up- it was essentially running like a diesel & would stall just like your bike. It never stalled in autotune again after I put the injector wires where they belong.
@@beardedforlife3740 I'm not saying don't follow a professionals direction. Just stating that there were different schools of thought out there. I've only broken in one motor (883) and everything went well and was a reliable bike. Following the Harley 500 mile break in.
I have an XR1200 as well, and I really think they should've found an XR to build instead of this 883 Iron. The general clique of this channel would've been more receptive of a better handling model likely, and Yam probably would've been more into the mods than Spite.
All that good work and great parts, and you don't touch O2 sensor. Lets tune with narrow bands. Good for you. How about changing your belt drive with elastic band.
I have a 1200 and the grenade plate in mine just went off, needed a whole new clutch basket, can't wait to try the new performance clutch in the spring.
I got rid of mine when I first got my Sportster. I put a Barnett extra plate kit, Barnett 25% diaphram spring and a Barnett billet pressure plate and holy shit it shifts so hard now, it is amazing! What are you doing to yours? I will eventually put a Barnett Scorpion lock up clutch in it haha
@@parkersgarage4216 Dude, don't think about it just do it because it isn't a matter of if it will let go, it is a matter of when it will let go and trust that you don't want that. It could cause very little damage and leave you stranded on the side of the road with the bike not moving, or you will end up stranded on the side of the road with a fuckload of damage done inside the primary, and it can get bad. That is literally the only thing on a Sportster that mechanically should be swapped at the first chance. Some guys don't have them let go until 20-40k miles, but I also have heard of it happening as early as 5000 miles. The benefit of spending $200 and not having to worry about it, plus having an all around better clutch is worth it. I hope I scared you enough to do it hahaha
@@jonnymac8925 lol i def plan on doing it for sure. ive researched it quite a bit. that is literally the only bad thing about a sportster. i havent had the time to do it yet is all. i have to order the clutch and the tool to do it as well. id like to go w a slightly stronger spring too like 15%. how much better is the clutch now since youve upgraded? did you go w the kevlar clutches or?
@@parkersgarage4216 Hey dude I meant to reply to this a last week! I went with the Barnett kevlar extra plate kit but in the process I ended up breaking my pressure plate being clumbsy, so then I ordered a Barnett billet pressure plate. The 25% spring I put in made the clutch veryyyy hard to pull in so I fired some 1FNGR easy pull levers and a Magnum black pearl clutch cable and let me tell you the difference is insane. The bike hooks up hard and shifts amazing. It was 110% worth doing both for performance and for reliability. I put one full season on the setup so far and I can't picture going back. If I did it again I would probably go for a 15% spring tho because the 25% really was too much without the easy pull levers. I have carpul tunnel in both wrists but am not "weak" by any means, but the 25% is something I would use on a drag bike haha I actually have an extra clutch compression tool laying around if you want to pay the shipping on it I will give it to you? Hit me up on Instagram if you want @trucker_mac
Yammie you should get a hold of a newer softail heritage or deluxe, and review it. It’s the only Harley I actually really liked. I tried dynas, sportsters, and the softail is so nice, I ended up buying one cause it felt so smooth on the highway and impressively nimble with its low center of gravity, also plenty of power and just beautiful bikes. It’s a “real” Harley for real boys.
@@yammienoob you need to put your big boy pants on and ride a Street Glide Special or Road Glide Special on a long trip to LA or Miami. You might appreciate why so many people ride HD's touring bikes.
Yeah, because the Sportster isn't a "real" Harley? Even tho it has been in continous production with few changes since 1957. The Sportster IS the real Harley, and everything else is an offshoot.
@@fitnesslibrarian9013 I've ridden harley's big bikes and they really just aren't fun unless you love harley. They don't do much for sport bike guys at all. It's comfortable but they're just kinda lame to us. Glad you guys enjoy them, but I'm with yammie
Are you guys getting another Harley after this giveaway?? Maybe VRod might be more Yammie's taste in performance cruiser or Fat Bob. Edit: Damn I can feel Spite's sadness of giving away this bike!
@@maxjohnson6218 lol Indian Scout is amazing bike but Spite is a Harley guy (even though he admitted the Scout was the better bike). So here is hoping that they have more Harley content in the future! Maybe even LiveWire
Reminds me of when a friend put a freshly rebuilt motor in his car. We took an impromptu road trip on state highways (so varied revs and vacuum levels) just to put miles on the engine. Still running today... Have a local friend ride it to Abilene and back.
Am interested in the difference between the 1200 and 1275. Liked the 1200 I rode even though it was a fixer upper. Tempted to get one but I picked up a suzuki s83 instead.
It looks like the vance and hines competition series 2-1. I just ordered the superstreet 2-1 for my 1275 sportster. Hammer performance has dyno sheets on the v&h competition series and several other pipes on their website. The arlen ness f-bomb makes good power, if you can find one. I finally decided to pull the trigger on the s&s pipe
I’m wondering why a dyno tune is better than the auto tune. Running the bike on a dyno isn’t in real world conditions and auto is.....will you be tweaking the map from the dyno with auto after? Thx ....ps. Not sure why you’d spend all that coin and not get the wide band o2 sensors.... pps. Who doesn’t love a sporty....
One question, is it better than drilling a hole in the muffler like I did on my 60cc in grade 8 and went out cruising on a quite summer night with my buddy? 😎😂. Sounds great spite, very nice!
hahaha. That video ending killed me. Great stuff. Please do the cowboy persona to random strangers, and film it with a hidden camera. Perhaps to a group of Harley or Busa guys?
Do a cruiser to a naked/sport bike vid, do you really wanna see someone go from a sportster 1200 to a turbo busa?!?! I’m not saying it’s a bad idea I just need some guidance
May i please ask a question...in your opinions....can a harley 883 iron be converted into a harley Roadster considering it won't have the upside down forks or the seat height putting clip ons and improved rear shocks....dig your channel...good stuff guys
THIS VIDEO IS OK IF YOU TURN THE SOUND OFF AND I DONT LIKE SEEING SOME RIDEING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAIN WERE ALL THE OIL IS HE WILL FIND OUT SOME DAY Y YOU DONT DO THAT.
@@Jeff_Green it's not bad but the little 3 gallon tank made it annoying for commuting. I had a 40 mile round trip to work every day so I had to fill up every other day or risk running out of gas trying to squeeze in three total trips to work.
I was flipped off today by a zx-6 rider I looked at him I was on my bike (I have a moped but was with my friend) and he was doing 90 mph in a 30 and I was thinking dude you are like 22 and you are flipping off 14 year olds for no reason and motorcyclists wonder why people hate Them.
if you really have no idea why, it's probably mistaken identity and he flicks off his buddy. I've honked/waved at people and then been like, fuck I don't know that person actually lmao, they were probably like wtf
@@gregmccauley1687 true but I’m 14 and I was riding my bike so idk I think he was maybe trying to be cool but I have zero clue why he would do that my buddy flipped him off back but I thought he waved and then I asked my friend if he flipped me off and he said yeah but I gave him the bird
I dont like Harley styling all that much, 90 style going on in the designs still. But that engine, just something about the Harley engine that is so fascinating. I wish they would make a 1930 Harley with modern parts, go all 100% retro
I think the fascinating thing is that you have to spend over a thousand dollars to make it marginally faster than a honda rebel, risk blowing it up when replacing it with the 1200 kit, and then spend a bunch more time and money to autotune it for an additional 500 miles so it is not trash.
@@That1J1 haha yeah I know. I would never do that kit. They have 1200cc Harleys also. They should just make the engines about 70 horses and people would stop the whole under powered discussion. My svartpilen makes almost as much bhp as a sportster 883 and its less than half the cc. but its not about the power its about a low stressed V twin, still I don't like there 90s look.
Yo Yammie I have a question I have Cerebral Palsy and want to get a bike BUT I can't use a clutch because my CP effects my left side is there anything I can do to be able to ride without purchasing a scooter 🛵
Sometimes ride with a guy with highly modded sportster. Lot of money spent for little gains. Get a older v-max less money more performance and comfort. Just saying.
False, for this application because it is a new set of pistons, jugs and heads - we need to slowly bed them in. The reason you don't need to do this on a factory bike brand new from a dealership is because they typically have already done that for you.
I understand the appeal of a raw and rough man's bike, but this bike isn't it because it seems too compromised in every aspect. Spite needs to realise the bike is just a blunt knife and will never be anything but.
Just buy the bike by the engine where you do not have to do all this expensive extra stuff. Harley’s can only revv so much. Revs make horsepower. Big pistons are heavy especially( high inertia) with long heavy rods and long push rods.
100% agree, just buy a 1200 as I did & love it, Sportsters are awesome bikes imo. I understand that they need content for the channel & I enjoyed watching this process & the bike does have more power but I’d rather be riding than wrenching, lucky winner here!
A 1200 is like 2 grand more to start. A basic 1275 conversion is cheaper than that, while still having the cheaper 883 insurance and more horsepower. To each thier own but for some of us, this wins to "just buy a 1200".
It's an 883 dude....nobody ever claimed it was fast or had a bunch of power stock. They do however have a plethora of amazing aftermarket parts and the Sportster can be anything from a dirt bike, flat tracker, cruiser, drag bike,cafe racer, or anything else. No other bike has the aftermarket options a Sportster does and that is what makes them fun. I have a few bikes but my 1200 to 1250 with built clutch, motor, suspension with a carbon fiber body is an ripper and some random dudes opinion on the internet that has never ridden a stock one let alone a built Sportster is completely useless.
Honestly.....y’all did a piss poor job keeping up with this build. Not in the aspect of what you guys are doing/did to the bike, but on how much you hype it up. Just wish there was as much energy with this bike as y’all do with your other videos. I’m still staying subbed and love the content..... but just my two cents on the topic.

Must be more careful with air cooled motors break in as loose clearances versus water cooled motors
I was under the impression it was the opposite because air cooled has more room for expansion.
There are different schools of thought. Some do the 500 mile thing, some do heat cycles. Some say break it in like you plan on using it.
@@Shutchohole I think if professionals tell you to heat cycle then follow a break in period on their product then you should probably do it

I agree, it's a much better platform, but for their giveaway, the 883 makes more sense
A built XR1200 on this channel would really change a lot of peoples outlooks on the Sportster I think!

Yeah the stock 883 is geared really low so when you get 75 80mph it goes out of it's power band and over rev.
I did a chain conversion and put a 51 tooth on the back gave me a little more top end and much smoother around 70~75mph
hmm? mine seems to be just hitting tbe 5th gear power band at 75?

if you really have no idea why, it's probably mistaken identity and he flicks off his buddy. I've honked/waved at people and then been like, fuck I don't know that person actually lmao, they were probably like wtf
@@gregmccauley1687 true but I’m 14 and I was riding my bike so idk I think he was maybe trying to be cool but I have zero clue why he would do that my buddy flipped him off back but I thought he waved and then I asked my friend if he flipped me off and he said yeah but I gave him the bird
Yammie, reupload the car guys videos
Literally 17 minutes of this guy not explaining anything and just saying "I'm riding on a bike I built! I'm so amazing."
Eyyy hello Yammie. How you doin
Would you do it on a 1200, Spite? Hammer still recommends it, but it seems kinda futile
I did a 1200 to 1250, it is still worth it!
i was wondering the same thing myself. the gains you seem to get dont seem very worthwhile to me neither.
@@parkersgarage4216 Is your 1200 a stock motor now?
@@jonnymac8925 yes, i have intake and exhaust done of course along w a tune.
I dont like Harley styling all that much, 90 style going on in the designs still. But that engine, just something about the Harley engine that is so fascinating. I wish they would make a 1930 Harley with modern parts, go all 100% retro
I think the fascinating thing is that you have to spend over a thousand dollars to make it marginally faster than a honda rebel, risk blowing it up when replacing it with the 1200 kit, and then spend a bunch more time and money to autotune it for an additional 500 miles so it is not trash.
@@That1J1 haha yeah I know. I would never do that kit. They have 1200cc Harleys also. They should just make the engines about 70 horses and people would stop the whole under powered discussion. My svartpilen makes almost as much bhp as a sportster 883 and its less than half the cc. but its not about the power its about a low stressed V twin, still I don't like there 90s look.
You still have narrow band o2 sensors?
560 cams?
Yo Yammie I have a question I have Cerebral Palsy and want to get a bike BUT I can't use a clutch because my CP effects my left side is there anything I can do to be able to ride without purchasing a scooter 🛵
There are a few bikes the have DCT transmissions. You could go that route. Honda makes a few....
Look into installing a "rekluse clutch" on a bike with an up/down quickshifter
Honda Rebel 1100 DCT...
Where is the camera mounted? Chest or helmet? footage looks great
This is in Austin right??
Is just me or spite sounds like lightning McQueen
Still sounds quiet at least through the camera
How many people are yelling scam since the winner is close to you lol
Why doesn't Yammie sound the same?
Sounds great
Which brand.
Nope busaaaa if faster
What is the tank range in this ?
needs a turbo
Hahaha, there is a video on youtube of a drag Sporty killing a h2 😂 These evos have so much potential.
mo powa bb
Sometimes ride with a guy with highly modded sportster. Lot of money spent for little gains. Get a older v-max less money more performance and comfort. Just saying.
My BikE ShAKes I cAn’T RidE iT
Just ride it like you stole it. Don’t need to break in your engine
False, for this application because it is a new set of pistons, jugs and heads - we need to slowly bed them in. The reason you don't need to do this on a factory bike brand new from a dealership is because they typically have already done that for you.
lmao this is how you end up with no engine.... This is done before a bike gets to a showroom.
Facts I bought my mt09 and 450l out the crate and redline the shite out of them on the first ride here we are thousands of km later no problems
@@Chumbucketsecret it has already been run in at the factory properly. They literally rebuilt the engine, it needs to break in properly.
@@matth8924 bro I seen them come in with un built suspension and 0km on the dash
It’s so weird that I live close
wut r u doin BUD?
Sounded almost Canadian there lol! "I'm not your buddy guy!"
@@adamlanglois563 I'm not ur guy pal (u started it lol)
That's not a REEEEEAAAAALLLL BIKE !!!!!!!!!
That would b nice
I understand the appeal of a raw and rough man's bike, but this bike isn't it because it seems too compromised in every aspect. Spite needs to realise the bike is just a blunt knife and will never be anything but.
Lol bet ur the life of the party
Oooooo. I'm exite
i want that bike😍
Spite... not spike
Sounds like valves. Yikes.

Hi yam
Just buy the bike by the engine where you do not have to do all this expensive extra stuff. Harley’s can only revv so much. Revs make horsepower. Big pistons are heavy especially( high inertia) with long heavy rods and long push rods.
100% agree, just buy a 1200 as I did & love it, Sportsters are awesome bikes imo. I understand that they need content for the channel & I enjoyed watching this process & the bike does have more power but I’d rather be riding than wrenching, lucky winner here!
A 1200 is like 2 grand more to start. A basic 1275 conversion is cheaper than that, while still having the cheaper 883 insurance and more horsepower. To each thier own but for some of us, this wins to "just buy a 1200".
You don't have to break in the engine to tune it on the dyno
You understand dyno'ing a bike requires redline/ full throttle right?
Lol
Sorry, lemme clarify. You can break the engine in on the dyno.
Get a boss hoss
Please, for the love of God, why dam pipe are on the bike?
Lol the Harley didn’t have enough power so they had to do this to it and spite will never admit it
Who cares.
It's an 883 dude....nobody ever claimed it was fast or had a bunch of power stock. They do however have a plethora of amazing aftermarket parts and the Sportster can be anything from a dirt bike, flat tracker, cruiser, drag bike,cafe racer, or anything else. No other bike has the aftermarket options a Sportster does and that is what makes them fun. I have a few bikes but my 1200 to 1250 with built clutch, motor, suspension with a carbon fiber body is an ripper and some random dudes opinion on the internet that has never ridden a stock one let alone a built Sportster is completely useless.
@@jonnymac8925 that's why we love our sportys!
Honestly.....y’all did a piss poor job keeping up with this build. Not in the aspect of what you guys are doing/did to the bike, but on how much you hype it up. Just wish there was as much energy with this bike as y’all do with your other videos. I’m still staying subbed and love the content..... but just my two cents on the topic.
