RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 9
39
Warning
Engine failure The engine will not be lubricated unless there is 2-stroke oil in the oil tank.
If the oil level warning light lights up, the 2-stroke oil is sufficient for the remaining tank of fuel.
–
As soon as the oil level warning light lights up, ride for no longer than until the remaining fuel in the
tank is depleted.
–
At the next opportunity add 2-stroke oil before you refuel.
–
Time the oil pump if the 2-stroke oil hose has been removed or the 2-stroke oil tank has been fully
depleted in error.
Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine, and contact an autho-
rized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop.
First-gear is used for starting off and for steep inclines.
–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.). To do so, release the throttle
while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever and open the
throttle.
–
If the cold start function was activated, deactivate the cold start button after the engine has warmed up.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back so it is ¾ open. This
will barely reduce the speed, but fuel consumption will be considerably lower.
–
Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle
–
abrupt throttle opening increases fuel
consumption.
–
To shift down, apply the brakes and close the throttle at the same time.
–
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and either open the throttle
or shift again.
–
Switch off the engine if running at idle speed or stationary for a long time.
Guideline
≥
2 min
–
Avoid frequent or lengthy slipping of the clutch. This causes the gear oil, engine and cooling system to heat
up.
–
Ride at a low engine speed instead of at a high engine speed with a slipping clutch.
9.5 Braking
Warning
Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
–
Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.
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 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.
–
On sandy, wet, or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
