Hello all-

I bought an '06 883Low to replace my totaled Magna in October. I managed to put about 1600 miles on it before I was forced to park it for the winter, but hopefully spring arrives in late March/early April as it did here last year in Pittsburgh. I did go with synthetic fluids when I did the 1k change, so now that I have put this information out there eveyone can argue with me as to my decision to go with synthetics. My bike is the pearl red with the spoke wheels and the first upgrade will probably be the seat, followed by intake/exhaust. Looking forward to talking to you all in the future, but I will apologize up front as I am not "squishy" with my thoughts and feelings, and although I do not want to "offend" anyone, I will not shy away from it if it is needed to provide a point. But were mostly adults and Im sure we will all get along. After all, what brings us all here in the first place is a common interest in a wonderful machine that provides transportation as the least of its benefits.

looking forward to spring!
Ken

Welcome from rainy Portland. I think I put Amsoil in mine at around 1500 miles. I did break the motor harder than what the book called for.
