Vehicle Information
Harley-Davidson XLX-61 Motorcycle - Street (1982-1986)
The Harley-Davidson XLX-61, primarily produced from 1983 to 1985 with some sources indicating its introduction in 1982, was a stripped-down version of the Sportster. Positioned as a 'value model,' it was known for its minimalist design, blacked-out finishes, and reduced equipment, offering an alternative to the more conventionally equipped XLH and XLS Sportster models of the era. It was powered by the 61-cubic-inch (997 to 1000 cc) Ironhead V-twin engine, air-cooled, with two valves per cylinder and a four-speed gearbox with chain final drive. This engine typically produced between 50 and 57 horsepower, depending on the year and source. The Ironhead engine remained largely consistent throughout the XLX-61's production run. Minor changes occurred in 1985, including modifications to the clutch/alternator assembly and a relocation of the oil filter. The most significant break for the Sportster line happened in 1986, immediately following the XLX-61's production period, with the introduction of the lighter and more reliable Evolution engine, and a frame redesign to accommodate it.
