Warranty and Maintenance: Buell ModelsSee Regular Service Intervals: Buell Models. This Owner's Manual contains your new motorcycle warranty and a maintenance record. The maintenance record is a scheduled mileage interval that contains a specific maintenance checklist for upkeep of your motorcycle. It is the owner's responsibility to follow the scheduled mileage intervals as specified. All of the specified maintenance services must be performed to keep your warranty valid.
These records should be transferred to each subsequent owner.
Use only Buell approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacture's performance parts may void your warranty. See a Buell dealer. Buell dealerships are independently owned and operated and may sell parts and accessories that are not manufactured or approved by Buell. Therefore, you should understand that we are not and cannot be responsible for the quality, suitability, or safety of any non-Buell part, accessory or design modification, including labor, which may be sold and/or installed by our dealers.
NOTE:
If you move from your present address, or sell your motorcycle, please fill out and mail the post card at the back of this manual.

Keeping It All BuellInsist that your dealer uses only Genuine® Buell replacement parts to keep your Buell motorcycle and its warranty intact.

Installing off-road or competition parts to enhance performance may void your new motorcycle warranty. See a Buell dealer for details.
