NOTE:
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
Top of page
 |
|
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)
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
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
Top of page
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.
 |
|
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.
|
|
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)
|
|
|
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.
