CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine oil level can be checked with the engine either warm or
cold. Place the motorcycle in an upright position and on a horizon-
tal surface (not on the side stand).
If the engine is cold, the engine oil must be visible at the lower
edge of the inspection glass A.
If the engine is warm, the engine oil must be visible up to the
upper edge of the inspection glass B.
Replenish the engine oil, if necessary.
CAUTION: Insufficient amounts of or low-grade engine
oil lead to premature wear in the engine.
ENGINE OIL
Automobile engine oil used to be used for four-stroke motorcycles
before there were separate motorcycle specifications. Different
technical developments made it necessary to have a separate spe-
cification for four-stroke motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA standard.
Whereas car engines require long changing intervals, motorcycle
engines require a higher power output at higher speeds. Most
motorcycle engines also use the same oil to lubricate the transmis-
sion and the clutch. The JASO MA standard responds to these spe-
cial requirements.
Only use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the JASO MA quality
requirements (see information on the can). Husaberg recommends
Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for temperatures
over 0°C, 32°F) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C, 32°F).
CAUTION: Insufficient amounts of or low-grade engine
oil lead to premature wear in the engine.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL *
NOTE: When changing the engine oil, it is necessary to
clean the short and long oil screens and to replace both
oil filters.
WARNING: An engine at operating temperature and the
engine oil it contains are very hot - do not burn or scald
yourself.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface, remove the plug (1)
and allow the oil to drain into a receptacle.
Clean plug (with magnet) thoroughly.
Once the entire oil has been drained, clean the sealing surface,
mount the plug together with the sealing ring and tighten it
to 20 Nm.
CLEANING THE OIL SCREEN
Dismount the plug (2) with the oil screen, thoroughly clean the
parts and blow clean with compressed air.
Check the O-rings (4) for damage and replace if necessary.
Insert the oil screen in the plug (2), mount and tighten the plug
to 15 Nm.
