Motorcycle Repair: 2005 ultra classic, bank angle, angle sensor


Question
hi,i am thinking of buying this bike and the guy layed it down and he said it was on its side and ran for 10 min will this hurt the motor?worried abought oil pressure or lack of ??

Answer
Hi,
TC88's get very little oil pressure when they are running correct. But HD is ok with it to date.
I wouldnt worry too much about it being damaged from the lay down..
Also, if the bike ran for 10 minutes on its side, he needs to take it back to the dealer he bought it from, 2005 Ultras' have whats called a B.A.S. or "bank angle sensor"

This is a device so that if and when the bike is on its side this sensor is tripped and will shut down the efi system immediatly thus the bike will stop running. They have used this for quite some time now, and they are very effective to keep from engine damage from lack of oil while the bike is down...

Hope this helps!
