Im looking at an 883 with 5000 Km on it, but it has a hammer performance big bore kit (1250) .. im wondering if this has negative effects on the life of the engine?
As long as the install is done right, have at it. Great kit and having the lower gearing of the 883 transmission really gives its some seat of the pants pull.
Many do it and never look back.

I would check my insurance before pulling the trigger on purchase, they dictate everything these days
Compression and leak-down test would take care of any concerns.
How are people insuring these? You have an 883 VIN. In my experience, insurance companies don't deal well with substantial modifications. Are people telling insurance company 1200 and a VIN decode is never done (which would seem to be a reasonable approach for both the rider and insurance company), are they insured as 883, or are people disclosing as modified to 1250?
