2020 Ultra Limited - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Accessible seat height: A Laden 698.5 mm seat height keeps this manageable for most riders, which helps confidence at parking-lot speeds.
Large fuel range: A 22.7-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Low-maintenance final drive: Running a 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 Ultra Limited - the usual used-bike checks (service history, consumables, tyres) apply.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Heat management in traffic

Because the Ultra Limited relies on airflow rather than a coolant jacket, expect noticeably more radiant heat at low speed and in traffic. It's inherent to air cooling, and ventilated gear largely offsets it.

Fuelling & injector care

The Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) on the Ultra Limited needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from 2 x 300mm discs, 4 piston fixed - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The Ultra Limited's suspension runs 41.3 mm telescopic, cartridge-style damping at the front. The rear uses Swingarm Mild steel; two-piece drawn and welded section; forged junctions; MIG welded, Rear Shocks Air-adjustable. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

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

Frame & chassis check

Built around a Mild steel; tubular frame; two-piece stamped and welded backbone; cast and forged junctions; twin downtubes; bolt-on rear frame with forged fender supports; MIG welded, the Ultra Limited's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.

Handling the weight at a standstill

413 kg puts the 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.

Ultra Limited - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2020 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited with its 1868 cc custom / cruiser, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs belt final drive, so check belt tension and tooth wear - a cracked or glazed belt is a clear sign of neglect. Now 6 years old, this custom / cruiser is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Ultra Limited should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects the Ultra Limited's 1868 cc four stroke, v-twin, milwaukee-eight 114, pushrod-operated, overhead valves with hydraulic, self-adjusting lifters, 4 valves per cylinder like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). With a 10.5:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the 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.
