I looking into buying a 2006
Sportster LE DI. But found some issues on line with the 130 HP engine, engine life, oil etc. any feelings on the 130 2-stroke vs the 155 4-stroke?

Welcome to the site. Personally I don't have anything against the 130hp engine but I would prefer the 155hp just to have the extra power.

Thanks for the welcome!

You're welcome.

Me personally I have not, but give it some time to see if you will have others chime in that have. Our experience has been with the following engines. 160 Speedster w/ Mercury 240 EFI, 180 Challenger w/ Rotax 215hp SCIC, and now with the 210 Wake w/ Twin Rotax 215hp (430hp total).
