Warning
Danger of accidents
Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for Husqvarna motorcycles. The structure and friction
coefficient of the brake linings, and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake
linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homolo
gation is not guaranteed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery
and the warranty shall be void.
-
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by Husqvarna motorcycles.
Warning
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
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not
designed for DOT 5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
