TIRE DATA

WARNING
Match tires, tubes, air valves and caps to the correct wheel rim. Contact a Harley-Davidson dealer. Mismatching can result in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00023a)

WARNING
Use only Harley-Davidson-approved tires. See a Harley-Davidson dealer. Using non-approved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024a)
Tubeless tires fitted with the correct size inner tubes may be used on all Harley-Davidson laced (wire-spoked) wheels. Protective rubber rim strips must be used with tubeless tires (fitted with correct-size inner tubes) when mounted on laced (wire-spoked) wheels.

WARNING
Use inner tubes on laced (wire-spoked) wheels. Using tubeless tires on laced wheels can cause air leaks, which could result in death or serious injury. (00025a)
Tubeless tires are used on all Harley-Davidson cast and disc wheels.
Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall. Inner tube sizes are printed on the tube.

WARNING
Harley-Davidson’s front and rear tires are not the same. Interchanging front and rear tires can cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)

WARNING
Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified on the sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)

WARNING
Harley-Davidson tires are equipped with wear bars that run horizontally 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 Harley-Davidson-approved replacement tires. (00090b)
See SPECIFICATIONS, Specifications: 2009 Tri Glide Models for tire pressures and sizes.

GASOLINE BLENDS
Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline 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.

CAUTION
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)

  • Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.
  • ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.
  •  
  • REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley-Davidson recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.
  • Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of these fuels will damage the fuel system.

Some gasoline blends might adversely affect the starting, drive ability or fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. If any of these problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline with a higher octane blend.

FUEL
Refer to Table 14. Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.

WARNING
Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

WARNING
Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00029a)
Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrapment and pressurization a possibility.

Table 14. Octane Ratings

SPECIFICATION

RATING

Pump Octane (R+M)/2

91 (95 RON)

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Motorcycles manufactured for California have a catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe collector.

CAUTION
Do not operate a catalytic converter-equipped vehicle with engine misfire or a non-firing cylinder. If you operate the vehicle under these conditions, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which can cause vehicle damage, including emission control loss. (00149a)

CAUTION
Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converter-equipped motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)
