2015 Harley-Davidson Fxsb 1.7L Petrol · FP15 FNX

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor mechanical irregularities requiring attention. The most recent test in September 2025 at 7,653 miles flagged a slight fluctuation in brake effort on the front assembly. While the motorcycle passed, this indication suggests potential air ingress in the hydraulic lines or early stages of master cylinder wear that were not present in the clean record from October 2023. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2023 and September 2025, where the bike covered only 4,703 miles in two years. This low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. The 2024 advisory at 5,240 miles noted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that basic consumable upkeep was occasionally neglected despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, as noisy exhaust was noted in both the 2021 and 2022 tests. This recurring fault suggests loose hangers, internal baffle damage, or a leaking manifold that has not been properly rectified. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also check for flat spots on the tyres and perished brake seals, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods. The front brake effort fluctuation requires a pressure test to ensure the system remains consistent and free of internal leaks.
