2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited Overview

Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited is a touring motorcycle, displacing 1687.97 cc. Power comes from a V2, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 9.6:1. Bore and stroke come in at 98.4 x 111.3 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 135.60 Nm @ 3250 of torque. Top speed is factory-quoted at 45 km/h. On the road, the 2013 Electra Glide Ultra Limited tips the scales at 413.2 kg, carries a 22.71-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 693 mm and spans a 1,613 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 89.1 kg heavier than the average touring motorcycle in our database. The full 2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2013 Electra Glide Ultra Limited - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Accessible seat height: A 693 mm seat height keeps this manageable for most riders, which helps confidence at parking-lot speeds.
Large fuel range: A 22.71-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Low-maintenance final drive: Running Belt final drive cuts out the regular chain cleaning and tensioning that most bikes need.

Considerations

Age-related wear: Nothing specific stands out as a weak point on the Electra Glide Ultra Limited - the usual used-bike checks (service history, consumables, tyres) apply.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the Electra Glide Ultra Limited needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Valve clearance checks

With Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve gear, the Electra Glide Ultra Limited needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from Double disc. 4-piston - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The Electra Glide Ultra Limited's suspension runs Independent coil springs and hydraulic dampers at the front. The rear uses Independent coil springs and hydraulic dampers. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The Electra Glide Ultra Limited runs belt final drive: no lubrication or frequent adjustment like a chain, though belt tension and wear are worth a periodic look.

Handling the weight at a standstill

413.2 kg puts the Electra Glide Ultra Limited toward the heavier end of its class. It's most noticeable at walking pace; once underway the mass settles into the handling rather than fighting it.

Electra Glide Ultra Limited - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Electra Glide Ultra Limited should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a Electra Glide Ultra Limited's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). The sump holds 3.80 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the Electra Glide Ultra Limited needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used Electra Glide Ultra Limited since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
