When I purchased my 2001 Buell Blast, the previous owner was gracious enough to give me an electronic copy of the Service Manual he was able to get his hands on shortly after he purchased the bike. This manual has everything you ever wanted to know about servicing your blast, from oil changes, to electrical work, or just tinkering on the Buell Blast engine.
So, without a lot of fanfare, here are links to each chapter in the Service Manual for you to reference or download. No payment required, no waiting for a book or CD to be delivered, all is right here for your reference and use. Hopefully this will help you as much as it helped me.
Buell Blast Service Manual
- Chapter 1 – Maintenance
- Chapter 2 – Chassis (part 1)
- Chapter 2 – Chassis (part 2)
- Chapter 3 – Engine (part 1)
- Chapter 3 – Engine (part 2)
- Chapter 4 – Fuel System
- Chapter 5 – Starter
- Chapter 6 – Transmission
- Chapter 6 – Transmission (part 2)
- Chapter 7 – Electrical
- Chapter 7 – Specs
- General – Servicing
- Appendix A – Tools
- Appendix B – Electrical Connector
- Appendix C – Metric Conversion
If you would prefer to purchase the Buell Blast Service Manual in book form, you can order directly from Amazon by clicking here. This is the official manual as distributed by the Buell Corporation, but be forewarned as it has a list price of over $60.
Edit: Getting lots of feedback on how helpful this has been to everyone, glad I could assist. Please feel free to pass the link along to other Blast riders. Even though I no longer own my Blast, rest assured I will keep this link active for everyone that needs to download the Buell Blast Maintenance Manual.

Craig says
July 18, 2018 at 6:57 amThey are basically all the same, regardless of year. If you are looking for a paper manual, follow the link in this posts as you can purchase on Amazon.

January 11, 2016 at 1:01 pmhey Craig!
Thanks for all of this… Wondering if you might have 2002 Buell Blast? They seemed to have changed a lot between the two years.
Again, Much thanks
Craig says
January 12, 2016 at 6:13 amHey Cody – Don’t have the bike anymore but it was a 2001. I’m fairly certain not much changed on these bikes across the model years.
James says

May 10, 2016 at 1:32 pmThank you the manual is great, but I’m trying to find out what parts are interchangeable. I have a 2001 and ineedthrrt handcontrol switch, key ignition switch, stater, and voltage regulator. What years of blast parts are usuable for my bike

Kendall says
May 13, 2016 at 12:56 amYou’ll want to consult with a Harley dealer. They will have the Buell books and can tell you all years which will use the same part numbers as yours. perhaps they will even know off the top of their head, but worst case they will have to look it up. if I’m not mistaken, 02 and up should work as they are all P3 body, but I could be wrong as I just started researching these.
Kendall says
May 13, 2016 at 12:54 amTHANK YOU!! Funny, as I’m also an IT guy who took up biking and my first one is an 02 Blast. I will be fixing it up and this manual has already proven indispensable.
Craig says
May 13, 2016 at 11:30 amAwesome. Glad to hear it’s helpful. I still regret selling mine.

July 29, 2016 at 6:15 pmThank you for making the service manual available. My neighbor is giving me his 2000 Buell Blast and it has been sitting in a dry garage for over 10 years! It looks great, but I am going to be examining everything on it to insure function and reliability. I know that I will be visiting this site to glean service information from the manual. Again, I am very grateful for your kindness in making this possible.
Craig says
July 29, 2016 at 6:37 pmGood for you. Nothing better than a free bike.
mark says
August 13, 2016 at 11:50 amcould not get it to down load
Craig says
August 15, 2016 at 9:44 pmNot sure, I double checked and all seems to be fine. Maybe try to clear your browser cache and try again.

May 6, 2017 at 3:29 amThis Service Manual has easy-to-read text sections with top quality diagrams and instructions.
Russ says
June 22, 2017 at 9:59 amThank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. I’ve been looking all over trying to find this information, and even hard copies are becoming more rare (and expensive). I rode extensively up until 2001 when my last bike was stolen. Now that the kids are older, I find myself frequently without a car. I just picked up a 2008 Buell Blast and it’s become by daily commuter. Ride on! -r
Craig says
June 22, 2017 at 2:36 pmI’m glad you found this helpful Russ.
Josh says
October 7, 2017 at 12:39 pmAnyone know why my 2001 Buell Blast only starts with starting fluid when there is a full tank of gas the hose leading to the carb and the carb have been cleaned twice
Thomas Wyszynski says
March 17, 2018 at 8:07 pmAnyone know where i can find a manual for an 09 buell blast?
Terry Hurley says
April 12, 2018 at 3:26 amChapter 14: Electrical Connector has a broken link… the rest download okay. Does anyone have this chapter so I can have a complete copy?
Craig says
April 12, 2018 at 6:57 amAre you getting an error message or does the page simply not display? It just worked fine for me.
Theo says
July 30, 2018 at 8:57 pmFor me, only Links 1, 6, 11, 13, & 15 work. The rest give a “The page isn’t redirecting properly” error.
Craig says
July 31, 2018 at 9:05 amInteresting! Just tried it from my work computer and received a similar error, although I am able to get to some of the links you can’t. Appears to be an issue with the CDN I’m using. I’ll fix as soon as I can, but it will probably be a day or two until I’m able to get to this.
Theo says
July 31, 2018 at 7:13 pmAny chance you could set up something like a Dropbox share for the files?
Jsharky says
May 16, 2019 at 4:35 pmThanks Craig, your post of the manual came as a very welcome relief. I’ve downloaded all files and and am very happy.
Many Thanks….
