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.)
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 if you do not want to brake.
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.
–
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When the ABS is enabled, maximum braking power can be achieved even with low road grip sur-
faces such as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without locking the wheels.
