Important Things to Know Before Buying a Big Dog Motorcycle. I'll Sell This One for $11,000
When you are looking at buying a different motorcycle and you think about a Big Dog Motorcycle. Here are a few items you will need to know before you make that purchase.
First off, the prices on these very wildly. You can get one that needs everything replaced, but you can hear it run. You can expect to pay about 8k or so for that level. The more "proper" after market goodies on it, can make the price on these hit 12K to $15K. What are "proper" after market goodies you ask, well here is a list.
*The ESC and wiring from the factory is garbage. If you want a great running and starting bike, you will need to install a completely new computer and wiring harness at a cost of $835. You can expect to pay another $500 to have it installed - if you can find someone that is willing to work on it. Here in Eastern Tennessee, most bike repair shops refuse to work on Big Dog Motorcycles (BDM). So if you end up doing this yourself you can expect it to take 5 to 7 hours.
*Next is the that back tire. It is a pain to get these motorcycles to turn when going through corners. They have a 300 series tire on them and they cost $500 to replace that back tire. And you will need to replace it every 7K to 10K miles.
*The third thing is that factory starter. This specific bike still have the factory starter on it (it has been rebuild). However, the factory starter on these bike do not have enough torque to turn the bike over. And most of the time you will either get a clickclickclickclcick sound or it just not turn over at all. A high torque starter runs $600 and they are fairly easy to change out.
*The fourth thing to be aware of is the factory Speedo. They die out often. I have not seen a working factory speedo for some time. Most people change them over to Dakota Digital Dash. They are awesome, the down side is most people do not adjust the mileage so the miles on the motor is usually higher than what the speedo states.
*The fifth is the Clutch. If you have never rode a bike with a manual clutch, please make sure you at least ride any bike with a manual clutch before considering a Big Dog. The clutch is so hard to pull in, it takes most of the fun out from riding this bike.
*The sixth item is the Head Gasket, you MUST let these bikes warm up. You CANNOT just jump on and go for a ride. Lesson learned, I fired up my old one, went out for a quick spin, gunned it out the driveway and pop went the head gasket. They must sit for five minutes running before you jump on to ride.
*The last time to know is POWER, you will need to keep the bike on trickle charge ALL THE TIME. We installed a new battery, and with in two days it was drained, so we learned it must be trickle charged when not riding.
*The upside are these are GREAT looking bikes and you will get complements everywhere you go. Even die hard Harley riders will give you thumbs up.
*They have GREAT power, once you get this puppy moving, there is not much to stop it
They actually are fun to ride, just make sure you go slow in corners.

    I've owned a 2006 Pitbull the last 4 years and I really enjoy it. I changed the EHC and the charging system, rotor, stator, and voltage regulator with no further problems. I always put the battery tender on the night before I'm going to ride. Your electrical componets will always work better with a fully charged battery.

Matter of fact, when I bought the bike (yesterday), the speedo stopped working seconds after I bought it!

    I have a 2006 Mastiff that I put 41,000 miles on. Factory ECH still in there, same starter that I did have re-built by an Amish starter company at about 10,000 miles, I milled a slot in the starter so the primary oil runs out and back into the primary, no problems since. Always keep the bike on a trickle charger, replace the battery about every 2-3 years and the bike never has trouble starting unless it's below 30 degrees, I also put a 600 cam in mine, and it still starts just fine. I have broken 3 clutch cables, two broke at the lever end, the other at the actuator end, but with the back cut gears, I always rode home, one time over 50 miles. Oh, and using a GPS I had mine to about 150mph, would estimate that it would top out at about 170mph if you care to go there.

    Good info, I have the dead one customs ESC and have never had a problem since I installed it over 16,000 miles ago, but as far as the other things you mentioned the clutch you can fix with a ball and ramp kit from Barnes Performance Cycles, I never use a tender on my bike since I installed the ESC and a Yuasa heavy duty battery, very rarely If it sits for over a month will I have to put it on a tender, also I personally have not had an issue with my starter but I know a lot of people do, as far as the 300 mm tire, I run a Shinko and got mine for about $200.00 and I was able to install it myself so no extra cost there, Big Dogs are bad ass bikes but unless you have a lot of money to pay someone to work on it, or your like me and are able to do the work yourself I would not recommend buying one, they’re basically a hot rod that constantly needs attention, but even with all that being said, it’s the only bike I will ever ride!

    Nice video, but about the wide rear tire you said that the bike is unstable, hard to ride, and doesn't corner very well. Also, at one point a Big Dog you had just wanted to go straight. Well yes, until one gets used to it, it does feel like it resists turning. However, I once owned a chopper with a 300mm rear tire, (and a Big Dog Chopper before that with the 250mm rear tire), and after a day of riding, I could ride it as well as any Harley cruiser. Proof to that is that a friend of mine owned a Harley Road King, and at one point after a trip down a very winding road, he said that he has to do everything he can to keep up with me. The low ground clearance was a bigger issue than the wide tire. As for stability too, it was very good, especially on the straight aways. Again, just need to get used to the cornering. But yeah, it's far from being a crotch rocket.

    It’s a rainy Saturday morning in my neck of the woods so I have nothing better to do than to comment on this video. Something I have wanted to do now for some time. I almost did not by my Big Dog after watching this vid and I’m glad I went ahead with my purchase. About a year ago I bought my 07 K9 117. It had about 3k miles. The author of this video is right about the EHC. I had to replace mine and I also replaced the entire charging system per the EHC sellers recommendation and to keep the warranty valid on the EHC. So if you are going to spend your last nickel on buying one of these older bikes..look elsewhere unless this job has been done. As far as the wiring is concerned I would disagree. It’s far from crap. The 300 rear tire and the 9’ length of the bike itself is not for beginners. If you have riding experience especially on heavy street bikes you will be fine with some practice. My friend purchased a 04 Chopper new and rode it for over 70, 000 miles without a major problem. When it comes to reliably The BD bikes stand up to the test. The S&S motors are very reliable and produce more horsepower and Touque than similar motors from Harley without extensive and expensive mods and if you have ever torn apart a Harley transmission snd set it along side a Baker or Jim’s you would be shocked just how much better these trannys are than Harleys. I could go on and on. By the way they are very comfortable to ride and no worries about a death wobble! Bottom line, BD bikes are not for everyone (and we like it that way) but if you want a great factory custom bike don’t be afraid of all the BD bullshit out there.

    There is a lot of mis information in this video and some truth to it as well. Stock EHC(brain of the bike) had lots of problems. Desk top connectors, headlight plug made of plastic, sketchy backbone harness etc. DOC is the best replacement. Starters go bad! Nature of the beast in any motor vehicle. If everything is working properly in your bike...charging system, EHC, properly tuned these bikes are very reliable. As far as difficulty in riding I disagree. Been in the saddle 53 years and find this is as easy to ride as any bike I have owned. You do need to counter steer a bit more with a long fork bike...but my K9 is as stable and a blast to ride in the twisties...just have to know your limit. As for this video when the owner starts the bike and you see the tach ring flashing...that is a built in warning that the idle is set too low. These bikes want to idle @1100 rpms. With idle that low you are not getting enough oil to the top end...sounds good but not doing your motor any good. As well these are not High Compression motors. The 117 is an EPA motor. A stock 107 probably has more power than a stock 117. This bike is not properly tuned nor is the carb properly adjusted. He is correct about the speedos, and the only good replacement is a Dakota digital, which can be programmed to input original mileage. Some do it, some don't. So all in all there are some good points here but there is mis-information as well. Buyer beware as always!!

You must have a problem with yours. My original starter works perfectly every time. You probably do t have a high enough CCA. I can take turns easy with my 300 tire.

If the clutch basket has not been replaced it will blow apart and leave you sitting. If the bike gets wet the starter switch will short out and start cranking the bike, if you leave the bike in gear it will knock it off the side stand.

    We live in North East Tennessee. Our starting issue was solved with another new battery. Apparently, the last battery was bad from the factory and that was the reason we had to keep it on the charger all the time. When it comes to a 300 rear, it does not corner the best. Don't get me wrong, it will go where you point it. Just takes a little more effort then something like the Honda Valkyrie. I' seen other people take the 300 off and replace it with a 250 rear and they love it. Right now we are replacing the clutch cable on it due to yellowing of the line.

    Your drive belt might need adjustment. On my bike I had a chirp, and adjusting the belt tension made it go away. If that’s not the issue. You might have a bad pulley.

    I've had two of these beasts and both times they had the dead one Customs ecu. Maybe someone else that watches this video can answer.

    Check the circuit breaker between the Voltage regulatory and the battery(under seat in battery tray) From factory they will have a rest button. I have replaced mine and has no reset button. The circuit pops when it gets to hot and resets when cool enough. My bike just shut down while riding. After reading blogs and service manual that was my issue $5.00 fix.

    Cause the second one already had all the upgrades and picked it up under its value, way under its value. I'll buy anything if it's a good deal and I can make some money on it.
