Sportster engines do not like sitting for long periods. Bearings can be affected by brinnelling. Brinelling can be caused by a heavy load resting on a stationary bearing for an extended length of time. The result is a permanent dent or "brinell mark".
If possible turn the engine over occasionally & move the car if on its wheels or turn them if jacked up.
“Sportster” engine ???
I think he meant “Sportster, engines .....” he was really to someone with the screen name Sportster rather than reffering to the Harley 😄
The comma was missing
