8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
34
8.4 Shifting, riding
Warning
Danger of accidents
If you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel blocks and the engine
races.
–
Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed.
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 choke function was activated, deactivate it 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 or standing for a long time.
Guideline
≥
2 min
–
Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. As a result the engine oil, engine and cooling system heat
up.
–
Ride at a low engine speed instead of at a high engine speed with a slipping clutch.
8.5 Applying the brakes
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 mostly if possible.
–
Always finish braking before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road
speed.
