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)
|
- 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:
Refer to Tires: 2009 Blast Models.
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.

If weather or other conditions cause the engine to knock, replace the 87 octane fuel
