What battery part do i get for my 883 sporty XL 2004 model

Sounds like an ignition problem. Sporty are known for these problems at times.

Contact me directly and I'll send you some information. It's for an earlier model Big Twin but I think the information is still good for your Sporty. [email protected] Remind me of what you need.

sounds like the alarm system needs resetting,p/s my 02 883 never had an alarm on it.

There could be several problems here. One problem could be the way you're shifting the gears. I've been riding for over 40 years and I still miss a gear every now and then due to sloppy shifiting.

If you don't think this might be the problem, you may want to check your clutch adjustment to make sure the clutch is disengaging. The easy way to tell this is to put the transmission in low gear, the start the bike with the lever held in. Does the bike lurch forward or have a strong tendency to "pull" the bike with the clutch completely pulled? If so, adjust the clutch mechanism.

Next, your shifter pawl may be getting ready to give up the ghost. These year model Sporty's are notorious for shifter pawl carrier failure. They are not difficult to replace for someone with a good basic mechanical ability.

The tans on a sporty is the same oil as in the crankcase. It is all in one unit.

they r on the left side under the dust cover for the battery

you dont need to conect to any clean ground on bike

replace your electronic ignition module

I think you are referring to "rocker boxes" on your Sporty. Replace the rubber gaskets between the lower plate and the upper plate. If the lower plate is leaking, you will have to remove the lower plate with the rocker arms and the push rods.

I have had a keyswitch go and cause this type of problem on my wifes 1200 Sporty.
