GENERAL
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several months, such
as during the winter season, there are several things which
should be done to protect parts against corrosion, to preserve
the battery and to prevent the buildup of gum and varnish in
the carburetor.
This work should be performed by your local Buell dealer
following Service Manual procedures.

WARNING
Gasoline is flammable. Do not store motorcycle having
gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open
flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present.
Inadequate safety precautions may cause an accident
resulting in personal injury.
1. Fill fuel tank and add a gasoline stabilizer. Use one of
the commercially available gasoline stabilizers following
the manufacturer’s instructions. Run engine until
gasoline has had a chance to reach carburetor float
bowl. Turn fuel supply valve OFF.
2. Fill the oil tank. Pinch off (or remove and plug) the line
leading from the oil tank bottom to the oil pump feed
fitting. This prevents oil from seeping past the check ball
into the oil pump and filling the engine flywheel
compartment.
3. Remove the spark plugs, inject a few squirts of engine oil
into each cylinder and crank the engine 5-6 revolutions.
Reinstall spark plugs.
4. Adjust primary chain.
5. Adjust secondary drive belt.
6. Check tire inflation. If the motorcycle will be stored for an
extended period of time, securely support the motorcycle
under the frame so that all weight is off the tires.
1
WARNING
Do not apply any oil to brake rotors or brake pads. Oil on
brake pads degrades braking efficiency and can result in
an accident causing personal injury.
7. Wash painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Apply a light
film of oil to exposed unpainted surfaces.
8. If motorcycle is to be covered, use a material that will
breathe, such as light canvas. Plastic materials that do
not breathe promote the formation of condensation.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

WARNING
After extended periods of storage and prior to starting
vehicle, place transmission in gear, disengage clutch and
push vehicle back and forth a few times to ensure proper
clutch disengagement. Improper clutch disengagement
could result in personal injury.
1. Remove and inspect spark plugs. Replace if necessary.
2. Clean air filter element and lubricate if necessary.
3. If fuel tank was drained, fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline.
4. If oil feed line was pinched off or plugged, unplug it and
reconnect.
5. Start the engine and run until it reaches normal operating
temperature. Check fluids and refill to proper levels if
required.
a. Check engine oil level.
b. Check the transmission lubricant level.
6. Perform all of the checks in the PRE-RIDING CHECK
LIST in the Owner’s Manual.
