WARNING
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 of 5000 miles (8000 km) or whenever
handling irregularities are noted, perform the recommended
service checks. See Table 2-7.
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.
