Gasoline Blends - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

TIRE DATA: EBR MODELS
Match tires, air valves and caps to the correct wheel
\rim. Contact an EBR dealer. Mismatching can re-
sult in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on
the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in
death or serious injury.
Use only EBR approved tires. See an EBR dealer.
Using non-approved tires can adversely affect stabil-
ity, which could result in death or serious injury.
 Tubeless tires are used on all EBR 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 Table 11. Always check tire pres-
sure before riding. Tire pressures are listed with tires
cold.

GASOLINE BLENDS: EBR
Your EBR motorcycle was designed to get the opti-
mal performance and efficiency using unleaded gaso-
line. 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 to consider.
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so
can result in fuel system component failure, engine
damage and/or equipment malfunction.
 Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BU-
TYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are
a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE.
Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motor-
cycle.
 ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain Al-
cohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol
blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol
does not exceed 10%
