2008 1125R VENT LINE, SIDESTAND SPRING AND OIL FILLER PLUG
PRODUCT PROGRAM 0504
Purpose
Buell Motorcycle Company has determined that:
- The vent line routing on 2008 1125 models may
cause the rider to smell fuel vapors from the fuel
vent line.
- The sidestand spring hook can break with use.
- The amount-to-add marking was incorrect on the oil
filler plug, on some of the 2008 models.
In the interest of customer satisfaction and continuous
improvement, Buell Motorcycle Company has elected to initiate
a product program (Product Program 0504) to update
the fuel vent line, sidestand spring and oil filler plug.

Motorcycles Affected
All 2008 Buell 1125R model motorcycles built 10/29/07
through 7/17/08.
