CHANGING THE BASIC POSITION THE HAND
BRAKE LEVER (FC, FE)
Free travel at the hand brake lever may be readjusted by using
adjustment screw (1). In this way, the position of the point of pres-
sure (e.g. the resistance you feel on the hand brake lever when the
brake pads are pressed against the brake disc) can be adjusted for
any hand size.
When you press the hand brake lever forwards, you
should have at least 3 mm free travel. Turn the adjusting screw (1) if
necessary.
CAUTION: At the hand brake lever, free travel must at
least be 3 mm (0.1 in). Only then may the piston in the
hand brake cylinder be moved (to be recognized by the
greater resistance of the hand brake lever). If this free
travel is not provided, pressure will build up in the bra-
king system, and the front-wheel brake may fail due to
overheating.
CHANGING THE BASIC POSITION THE HAND
BRAKE LEVER (FS)
The adjusting screw (2) allows you to change the basic position of
the handbrake lever (3).
Press the handbrake lever's outer end forward, and, at the same
time, turn the adjusting screw.
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL - FRONT BRAKE
The brake fluid reservoir is linked with the hand brake cylinder at
the handlebar and the reservoir is provided with an inspection
glass. With the reservoir in a horizontal position, the brake fluid
level should not drop below the middle of the glass.
WARNING: If the brake fluid level drops below the mini-
mum either the brake system has a leak or the brake
pads are completely worn. In this case, consult an autho-
rized Husaberg dealer immediately.
REFILLING THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR *
Loosen screws (4) and remove lid (5) and membrane (6).
Place hand brake cylinder in a horizontal position and fill the brake
fluid reservoir to 5 mm (0.2 in) below the rim with clean brake fluid
DOT 5.1 (e.g. Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5.1). Replace membrane
and lid, tighten screws. Rinse off spilled or overflowing brake fluid
with water.
WARNING: Never use DOT5 brake fluid! It is based on
silicone oil and of a purple color. Seals and brake hoses
must be especially adapted to it.
Store brake fluid out of reach of children.
