Buell file

The 2010 model year Firebolt added a second oxygen sensor with revised fuel-injection calibration, a ZTL2 front brake with eight-piston caliper and four pads, an LED tail light, updated master-cylinder seals and a Sunfire Yellow colour option. Engine and chassis stay as before. Very few, if any, were built since Buell closed in late 2009.
