–Do not operate the vehicle if you are not fit to ride due to alcohol, drugs or medication.
–Do not operate the vehicle if you are physically or mentally impaired.
Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and
death.

tem before the vehicle parts have cooled down.
–Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle.
Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a

In the interest of your own safety, Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that you only operate the vehicle while
wearing protective clothing.
2.8 Work rules
Unless specified otherwise, the ignition must be turned off during all work (models with ignition lock, models
with remote key) or the engine must be at a standstill (models without ignition lock or remote key).
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle, but can be ordered
using the number in parentheses. Example: bearing puller (15112017000)
During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers).
In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite®) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
If thread locker (e.g., Precote®) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread
locker.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change dam-
aged or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2 SAFETY ADVICE
16
2.9 Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect
the future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, be environmentally aware,
and respect the rights of others.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws
and regulations of the respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are
no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized Husqvarna Motor-
cycles dealer will be glad to advise you.
2.10 Owner's Manual
It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The
Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and service your motor-
cycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can pro-
tect yourself from injury.
Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an
authorized Husqvarna dealer.
The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner if
the vehicle is sold.
The Owner's Manual is also available for download from your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer and on
the Husqvarna Motorcycles website.

3.3 Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by
Husqvarna Motorcycles and have them installed by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop. Husq-
varna Motorcycles accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.

The current Husqvarna Motorcycles accessories for your vehicle can be found on the Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles website.

3.4 Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work
on the engine and chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. An incorrect suspension
setting can lead to damage and breakage of chassis components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as in heavy rain, intense heat or with a heavy payload, may
result in significantly increased wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension com-
ponents. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly,
you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
The relevant mileage or time interval is whichever occurs first.
3.5 Figures
The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.
In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not
always necessary to disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instruc-
tions in the text.

9.6 Engine traction torque control (MSR)
402423-01
The MSR is a function of the engine control.
If the engine braking effect is too great, the MSR prevents the
rear wheel from locking.
To avoid slip of the rear wheel, the MSR only opens the throttle
valve as far as absolutely necessary.
The MSR is applied on surfaces, where the friction is to low to
open the slipper clutch.
9.7 Applying the brakes
Warning
Danger of accidents Moisture and dirt impair the brake system.
–Brake carefully several times to dry out and remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
Danger of accidents A spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency.
–Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
88
Warning
Danger of accidents The brake system fails in the event of overheating.
If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously.
–Take your foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.
Warning
Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
–Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger or luggage with you.
Warning
Danger of accidents Salt on the roads impairs the brake system.
–Brake carefully several times to remove salt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
Danger of accidents ABS may increase the stopping distance in certain situations.
–Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
The ABS effectiveness is only ensured if it is switched on.
–Leave the ABS switched on in order to benefit from the protective effect.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 9
89
Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
–Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
–When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When ABS is active, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as
sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without locking of the tires.
Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
–If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
–Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate
to your road speed.
–On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not
over rev the engine. As a result, you will have to apply the brakes far less frequently and the brake system
will not overheat.

13.1 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
H02679-10
ABS module 1, which consists of a hydraulic unit, ABS control
unit, and return pump, is installed under the fuel tank. One wheel
speed sensor 2is located in each case on the front and the
rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the
function of the ABS.
–Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake
applied if the ABS is switched off (burn out).
–Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
–Only use spare parts on the brake system which have
been approved and recommended by Husqvarna
Motorcycles.
–Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motor-
cycles with the corresponding speed index.
–Maintain the specified tire pressure.
–Service work and repairs must be performed profes-
sionally. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles
workshop will be glad to help.)
13 BRAKE SYSTEM
136
The ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels
when driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral
forces.
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a
rollover within the physical limitations.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme rid-
ing situations, for example with luggage loaded with
a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep
descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
–Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and
your driving ability.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and
rear brakes). During normal operation, the brake system operates
like a conventional brake system without ABS. When the ABS
control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins
regulating the brake pressure. The control function causes a
slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.
The ABS warning lamp 3must light up after the ignition is
switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out
after starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indicates a fault
in the ABS system. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled
BRAKE SYSTEM 13
137
and the wheels may lock during braking. The brake system itself
stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds
of the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding
conditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear
wheel spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the igni-
tion. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on
again. The ABS warning lamp goes out after starting off.
13.2 Adjusting the basic position of the hand brake lever
A00232-11

14 WHEELS, TIRES
172
» If the tires are more than 5 years old:
–Change the tires.
14.7 Checking the spoke tension
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in
secondary damage.
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes
is too low, then lateral and radial run-out will form in the wheel. Other spokes will become looser as a
result.
–Check spoke tension regularly, and in particular on a new vehicle. (Your authorized Husqvarna
Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
Info
A loose spoke causes wheel imbalance and rapidly leads to more loose spokes.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.
WHEELS, TIRES 14
173
400694-01
–Briefly strike each spoke with a screwdriver blade.
Info
The frequency of the tone is a function of the spoke
length and spoke diameter.
If you hear different tone frequencies from individual
spokes of the same length and thickness, this is an
indication of different spoke tensions.
You should hear a high note.
» If the spoke tensions differ:
–Correct the spoke tension.
14.8 Checking tire pressure
Info
Low tire pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.
Correct tire pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.

14.9 Tubeless tire system
F01999-10
This vehicle uses a tubeless tire system in which a rim seal
band 1is used instead of the conventional tube.
The advantages of the tubeless system lie in the absence of dan-
ger from a faulty tube. This greatly reduces the risk of a sudden
loss in pressure.
The masses and moments of inertia of these wheels are smaller
than on conventional wire spoke wheels with a tube. This results
in better handling and riding comfort.
The rigid rim design results in a wire spoke wheel that is almost
entirely maintenance-free.
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that the rim seal band is
changed after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the actual state
of wear.

15 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
182
Info
Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the
excess pressure valves. This reduces the capacity of the 12-V battery.
If the 12-V battery is depleted by repeated starting, the 12-V battery must be charged immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and sulfating occurs, destroying the battery.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be checked.

16.1 Cooling system
A00262-10
Water pump 1in the engine ensures forced circulation of the
coolant.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is
regulated by a valve in radiator cap 2. Heat expansion causes
excess coolant to flow into compensating tank 3. When the
temperature falls, this surplus coolant is sucked back into the
cooling system. This ensures that operating the vehicle at the
specified coolant temperature will not result in a risk of malfunc-
tions.
115 °C (239 °F)
402773-10
The coolant is cooled by the air stream and a radiator fan 4,
which is activated at high temperature.
The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins
also reduce the cooling effect.

CLEANING, CARE 19
227
19.1 Cleaning the motorcycle
Note
Material damage Components become damaged or destroyed if a pressure cleaner is used incorrectly.
The high pressure forces water into the electrical components, connectors, throttle cables, and bearings, etc.
Pressure which is too high causes malfunctions and destroys components.
–Do not direct the water jet directly on to electrical components, connectors, throttle cables or bearings.
–Maintain a minimum distance between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component.
Minimum clearance 60 cm (23.6 in)
Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance
with the applicable regulations.
Info
To maintain the value and appearance of the motorcycle over a long period, clean it regularly.
Avoid direct sunshine when cleaning the motorcycle.
19 CLEANING, CARE

–Close off the exhaust system to keep water from entering.
–Remove loose dirt first with a soft jet of water.
–Spray heavily soiled parts with a normal commercial motorcy-
cle cleaner and then brush off with a soft brush.
Motorcycle cleaner ( p. 261)
Info
Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner
and a soft sponge. Never apply motorcycle cleaner to
a dry vehicle; always rinse the vehicle with water first.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with
cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive
effects of salt.
–After rinsing the motorcycle with a gentle spray of water,
allow it to dry thoroughly.
–Remove the closure of the exhaust system.
Warning
Danger of accidents Moisture and dirt impair the
brake system.
–Brake carefully several times to dry out and
remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake
discs.
CLEANING, CARE 19
229
–After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the
engine warms up.
Info
The heat produced causes water at inaccessible loca-
tions in the engine and on the brake system to evapo-
rate.
–After the motorcycle has cooled down, lubricate all moving
parts and pivot points.
–Clean the chain. ( p. 116)

19.2 Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, salt can be expected on the roads. You should therefore take pre-
cautions against aggressive road salt.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly clean the vehicle with cold water and dry it well. Warm water
enhances the corrosive effects of salt.

After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly clean
the brake calipers and brake linings, after they have
cooled down and without removing them, with cold
water and dry them carefully.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly clean the
motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.
–Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or zinc-
plated parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based corro-
sion inhibitor.
Info
Corrosion inhibitor must not come in contact with the
brake discs as this would greatly reduce the braking
force.

20 STORAGE
232
20.1 Storage
Info
If the motorcycle is not being used for an extended length of time, additional measures are
recommended.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements
are necessary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). This allows you to
avoid long waiting periods when the next season starts.
401058-01

STORAGE 20
233
Guideline
Storage temperature of the
12 V battery without direct
sunlight
0 … 35 °C (32 … 95 °F)
–Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large
fluctuations in temperature.
Info
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends raising the
motorcycle.
–Raise the motorcycle with the rear lifting gear. ( p. 106)
–Lift the motorcycle with the front lifting gear. ( p. 107)
–Cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar cover that is perme-
able to air.
Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent
humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since
the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor
produced during combustion condenses and causes
valves and the exhaust system to rust.

Guideline
–Only use high-grade, silicate-free coolant with corrosion inhibitor additive for aluminum motors. Low grade
and unsuitable antifreeze causes corrosion, deposits and frothing.
–Do not use pure water as only coolant is able to meet the requirements needed in terms of corrosion pro-
tection and lubrication properties.
–Only use coolant that complies with the requirements stated (see specifications on the container) and that
has the relevant properties.
Antifreeze protection to at least −25 °C (−13 °F)

STANDARDS 25
263
JASO T903 MA2
Different technical development directions required a separate specification for motorcycles –the
JASO T903 MA2 standard.
Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for motorcycles because there was no separate
motorcycle specification.
Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, the focus for motorcycle engines is on
high performance at high engine speeds.
In most motorcycle engines, the transmission and clutch are lubricated with the same oil.
The JASO T903 MA2 standard meets these special requirements.
SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying
oils according to their viscosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
