11WARNING1WARNING
To prevent death or serious injury, use the following
guidelines when installing a new tire or repairing a flat:
1. Always locate and eliminate the cause of the original
tire failure.
2. Do not patch or vulcanize a tire casing. These proce-
dures weaken the casing and increase the risk of a
blowout.
3. The use of tires other than those specified can
adversely affect handling which could result in death
or serious injury.
4. Tires and wheels are critical items. Since the servic-
ing of these components requires special tools and
skills, Buell recommends that you see your dealer
for these services.
11WARNING1WARNING
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases,
small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from
within the demounted tire by a Buell dealer. Speed
should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24
hours after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be
used over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warn-
ing could result in death or serious injury. (00118a)
11WARNING1WARNING
Buell tires are equipped with wear bars that run horizon-
tally across the tread. When wear bars become visible
and only 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) tread depth remains, replace
tire immediately. Using a worn tire can adversely affect
stability and handling, which could result in death or
serious injury. Use only Dunlop Harley-Davidson replace-
ment tires. (00090a)
At regular intervals or whenever handling irregularities are
noted, perform the recommended service checks. Refer to
Table 2-10.
If tires must be replaced, same as original equipment tires
must be used. Other tires may not fit correctly and may be
hazardous to use.
