Wet weight is the total weight of the motorcycle including fuel, oil and primary fluid. GVWR is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum allowable loaded vehicle weight). GAWR is the Gross Axle Weight Rating (maximum allowable loaded weight per axle). Load capacity is the amount of weight (including the rider) that can be carried on the motorcycle without exceeding the GVWR.

Tire Data: Buell Models


en Warning

Match tires, tubes, air valves and caps to the correct wheel rim. Contact a Buell dealer. Mismatching can result in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00162a)

en Warning

Use only Buell approved tires. See a Buell dealer. Using non-approved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00133a)

en Warning

Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)

  • Tubeless tires are used on all Buell cast wheels. Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall.
  • Use only recommended tires (the same as original equipment). Other tires may not fit correctly, could adversely affect handling, and may be hazardous to use.
NOTE:

Always check tire pressure before riding. Tire pressures listed are with tires cold.

Gasoline Blends: Buell Models


Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline sold is blended with alcohol and/or ether, to create "oxygenated" blends. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.

en Caution

Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)

  • Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.
  • ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.
  • REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): "Reformulated gasoline" is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer "tailpipe" emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to "oxygenate" the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Buell recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.
  • Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of these fuels will damage the fuel system.

You may find that some gasoline blends adversely affect the starting, drivability or fuel efficiency of your bike. If you experience one or more of these problems, we recommend you try a different brand of gasoline or higher octane rating.

Fuel: Blast Models


Refer to Octane Rating: Blast Models. Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.

en Warning

Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

en Warning

Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00029a)

Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrapment and pressurization a possibility.

Octane Rating: Blast Models

SPECIFICATION

RATING

Pump Octane

87



NOTE:

If weather or other conditions cause the engine to knock, replace the 87 octane fuel with a higher octane fuel.
