Use the TABLE OF CONTENTS (which follows this FORE-
WORD) and the INDEX (at the back of this manual) to quickly
locate subjects. Sections and topics in this manual are
sequentially numbered for easy navigation.
For example, a cross-reference shown as 2.1 SPECIFICA-
TIONS refers to chapter 2 CHASSIS, heading 2.1 SPECIFIC-
ATIONS.
For quick and easy reference, all pages contain a section
number followed by a page number. For example, page 3-5
refers to page 5 in section 3.
A number of acronyms and abbreviations are used in this
document. See the F.1 GLOSSARY for a list of acronyms,
abbreviations and definitions.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel
system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00002a)
Good preparation is very important for efficient service work.
A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and will
reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcycle
that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts.
Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools,
instruments and any parts needed for the job should be
gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate
tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay.
NOTES
• To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all rel-
ative service information before repair work is started.
• In figure legends, the number which follows the name of
a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete
assembly.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information presented in this manual, Buell
Motor Company will periodically issue Service Bulletins to Buell
dealers. Service Bulletins cover interim engineering changes
and supplementary information. Consult the Service Bulletins
to keep your product knowledge current and complete.
USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
Do not use aftermarket parts and custom made front forks
which can adversely affect performance and handling.
Removing or altering factory installed parts can adversely
affect performance and could result in death or serious
injury. (00001a)
To ensure satisfactory and lasting repairs, carefully follow the
manual instructions and use only genuine Buell replacement
parts.This is your assurance that the parts you are using will
fit right, operate properly and last longer.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Statements in this manual preceded by the following words
are of special significance.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury. (00119a)
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. (00139a)
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in property damage. (00140a)
NOTE
Refers to important information, and is placed in italic type. It
is recommended that you take special notice of these items.
Proper service and repair is important for the safe, reliable
operation of all mechanical products.The service procedures
recommended and described in this manual are effective
methods for performing service operations.
I
FOREWORD
Always wear proper eye protection when using hammers,
arbor or hydraulic presses, gear pullers, spring com-
pressors, slide hammers and similar tools. Flying parts
could result in death or serious injury. (00496b)
Some of these service operations require the use of tools
specially designed for the purpose.These special tools should
be used when and as recommended. It is important to note
that some warnings against the use of specific service methods,
which could damage the motorcycle or render it unsafe, are
stated in this manual. However, please remember that these
warnings are not all-inclusive. Inadequate safety precautions
could result in death or serious injury.
Since Buell Motorcycle Company could not possibly know,
evaluate or advise the service trade of all possible ways in
which service might be performed, or of the possible hazardous
consequences of each method, we have not undertaken any
such broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service
procedure or tool which is not recommended by Buell Motor-
cycle Company must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither
his nor the operator's safety will be jeopardized as a result.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
