2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Overview
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide is a touring motorcycle built around 1687.97 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a V2, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 9.6:1. The bore and stroke measures 98.4 x 111.3 mm. 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide delivers 135.60 Nm @ 3250 of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 45 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2013 Street Glide tips the scales at 367.9 kg, carries a 22.71-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 663 mm and spans a 1,613 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 43.8 kg heavier than the average touring motorcycle in our database.

2013 Street Glide - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: The fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: At 663 mm, the seat height is approachable for a wide range of rider heights and builds confidence in low-speed manoeuvring.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: The 22.71-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.
Considerations
-
ℹ️
Age-related wear: As with any used Street Glide, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling comes from fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.
Valve clearance checks
Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation on the Street Glide means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.
Brake disc and pad wear
The Double disc. 4-piston front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.
Suspension condition on used examples
Up front, the Street Glide runs Independent coil springs and hydraulic dampers and Independent coil springs and hydraulic dampers at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Final drive is by belt - lower maintenance than chain with no lubrication needed, but tension and tooth wear should still be checked at service intervals.
Handling the weight at a standstill
At 367.9 kg, the Street Glide is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.
Street Glide - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Street Glide should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Street Glide. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The sump holds 3.80 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Fuel system care
The Street Glide's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
Valve clearance service
Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used Street Glide. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
