IMPORTANT NOTES 5

Use definition (FE EU, FE AUS)


HUSABERG sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles
comply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.

Info
The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous (reduced) version only.
In the derestricted version, the motorcycle may only be used in closed off areas remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for the predominant motocross use.

Use definition (FE USA)


HUSABERG sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles
comply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.

Info
The motorcycle may only be used in closed off areas remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for predominant motocross use.

Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described
in the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and break-
age of components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components such as
the transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in
the service schedule is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.

Warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out in an authorized HUSABERG workshop and confirmed in the
customer's service record, since otherwise no warranty claims will be recognized. No warranty claims can be considered for damage
resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle.

Fuel, oils, etc.


You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.

Spare parts, accessories


For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by HUSABERG and have
them installed by an authorized HUSABERG workshop. HUSABERG accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage
or loss.

The current HUSABERG Parts for your vehicle can be found on the HUSABERG website.
International HUSABERG website: www.husaberg.com

Work rules
When the vehicle is assembled, non-reusable parts (e.g., self-locking screws and nuts, gaskets, seal rings, O-rings, splints, lock wash-
ers) must be replaced with new parts.
Where thread lockers are used on screw connections (e.g., Loctite®), follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Replace damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or maintenance work, check the roadworthiness of the vehicle.

Transport

Note
Danger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.
– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.

Note
Fire hazard Some vehicle components get very hot when the machine is driven.
– Do not place the vehicle where there are flammable or explosive substances. Do not place objects over the vehicle while it is still
warm from being run. Always let the vehicle cool first.
IMPORTANT NOTES 6

– Switch off the engine.


– Use straps or other suitable devices to secure the motorcycle against accidents or falling over.

Environment
Motorcycling is a wonderful sport and we naturally hope that you can enjoy it to the full. However, it is a potential problem for the
environment and can lead to conflicts with other persons. But if you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that such prob-
lems and conflicts do not have to occur. To protect the future of motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, dis-
play environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.

Notes/warnings
Pay close attention to the notes/warning.

Info
Various information and warning labels are affixed to the vehicle. Do not remove information/warning labels. If they are miss-
ing, you or others may not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured.

Grades of risks

Danger
Identifies a danger that will immediately and invariably lead to fatal or serious permanent injury if the appropriate measures
are not taken.

Warning
Identifies a danger that is likely to lead to fatal or serious injury if the appropriate measures are not taken.

Note
Identifies a danger that will lead to considerable machine and material damage if the appropriate measures are not taken.

Warning
Identifies a danger that will lead to environmental damage if the appropriate measures are not taken.

Owner's manual
– It is important that you read this owner's manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. It contains useful infor-
mation and many tips on how to operate and handle your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to best customize the motor-
cycle for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury. The owner's manual also contains important information on
servicing the motorcycle.
– The owner's manual is an important component of the motorcycle and should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is
sold.

Tampering warning
The exhaust system on this vehicle has no owner serviceable parts. Should there be an increase in noise or damage to any component
relating to the noise reduction system, replacement parts should be fitted by an authorized dealer.
Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited. Owners are warned that the law may prohibit:

1 The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device
or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate
purchaser or while it is in use;
2 The use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 25

Checks before putting into operation


7.1

Info
Make sure that the motorcycle is in a perfect technical condition before use.
In the interests of riding safety, make a habit of making a general check before you ride.
Note that the fuel tank does not indicate fuel reserves.

– Check the engine oil level. ( p. 71)


– Check the fuel reserves.

Info
There is no fuel reserve.

– Check the chain tension. ( p. 42)


– Check for chain dirt accumulation. ( p. 42)
– Check the tire condition. ( p. 55)
– Check the tire air pressure. ( p. 55)
– Check the front brake fluid level. ( p. 46)
– Check the rear brake fluid level. ( p. 50)
– Check the front brake linings. ( p. 47)
– Check the rear brake linings. ( p. 51)
– Check the brake system function.
– Check the coolant level. ( p. 67)
– Check the settings of all controls and ensure that they can be operated smoothly.
– Check the functioning of the electrical equipment.

Starting
7.2

Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are poisonous and can result in unconsciousness and/or death.
– When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in a closed
space without an effective exhaust extraction system.

Note
Engine failure High engine speeds in cold engines have a negative effect on the service life of the engine.
– Always warm up the engine at low engine speeds.

– Raise the motorcycle off of the stand and secure the stand with rubber band .
– Shift gear to neutral.
(FE AUS)
– Turn the emergency OFF switch to the position .
Condition
Ambient temperature: < 20 °C (< 68 °F)

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 26

Starting up
7.3

Info
If your bike has lights, switch them on before riding. You will then be seen earlier by other motorists.
When you are riding, the side stand must be folded up and secured with the rubber band.

– Pull the clutch lever, engage 1st gear, release the clutch lever slowly and simultaneously open the throttle carefully.

Shifting, riding
7.4

Warning
Danger of accidents An abrupt load alterations can cause the vehicle to get out of control.
– Avoid abrupt load alterations and sudden braking actions, and adapt your speed to the road conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents If you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel can lock up.
– Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed. The engine races and the rear wheel can block.
Warning
Danger of accidents Distraction from traffic activity by adjustments to the vehicle.
– Make all adjustments when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Warning
Danger of accidents After a fall, check the vehicle.
– After a fall, check the vehicle as usual before putting it into operation.

Note
Engine failure Unfiltered intake air has a negative effect on the service life of the engine.
– Never ride the vehicle without an air filter since dust and dirt can get into the engine and result in increased wear.

Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized HUSABERG work-
shop.
First gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.

Tip
On difficult terrain, an increased idle speed prevents the engine from stalling unintentionally.

– When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear. To do so, release the throttle while simulta-
neously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch and open the throttle.
– If you raised the idle speed to start the vehicle, push the idle speed adjusting screw in all the way after the engine warms up.
– When you reach maximum speed after fully opening the throttle, turn back the throttle to about 3/4 of its range. This barely
reduces vehicle speed but lowers fuel consumption considerably.
– Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abrupt throttle opening increases fuel consumption.
– To shift down, brake and close the throttle at the same time.
– Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly and open the throttle or shift again.
– Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
Guideline
≥ 2 min
– Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine and the cooling system.
– Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping clutch.
– If the FI warning lamp (MIL) starts to light up during the trip, stop immediately. When the engine reaches idle speed, the FI warn-
ing lamp (MIL) starts flashing.

Info
From the flash rhythm you can deduce a two-digit number, the so-called flash code. The flash code tells you which compo-
nent is affected by a fault.

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 32

Jacking up the motorcycle


9.1

Note
Danger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.
– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.

– Jack up the motorcycle underneath the engine. The wheels must no longer touch
the ground.
Work stand (81229055000)

100420-10 – Secure the motorcycle against falling over.

Removing the motorcycle from the work stand


9.2

Note
Danger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.
– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.

– Remove the motorcycle from the work stand.


– Remove the work stand.

Checking the basic chassis setting with the rider's weight


9.3

Info
When adjusting the basic chassis setting, first adjust the shock absorber and then the fork.

– For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage to forks, shock absorbers, swing arm and frame, the basic set-
tings of the suspension components must match your body weight.
– As delivered, HUSABERG offroad motorcycles are adjusted for a standard rider weight (with full protective clothing).
Guideline
Standard rider weight 75… 85 kg (165… 187 lb.)
– If your weight is above or below the standard range, you need to adjust the basic setting of the suspension components accord-
ingly.
– Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, the
springs must be replaced.

Compression damping of shock absorber


9.4

The shock absorber can regulate compression damping separately in the low-speed and high-speed ranges (Dual Compression Control).
The terms "low speed" and "high speed" refer to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not the riding speed of
the motorcycle.
Adjustments in the low-speed range have an impact on the high-speed range and vice versa.

Adjusting the high-speed compression damping of the shock absorber


9.5

Danger
Danger of accidents The shock absorber is under high pressure.
– The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen, so never dismantle the shock absorber or carry out any main-
tenance on it yourself.

Info
The high-speed setting can be seen during the fast compression of the shock absorber.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 33

Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Fast recharging with a high charge current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charge current, the charge voltage and the charge time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the breathing holes.
The battery capacity is then reduced.
If the battery is discharged from starting, it must be recharged immediately.
If it stands for a long time in a discharged state, the battery becomes over-discharged and sulfated, and then it is destroyed.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.

– Push back the protection covers on the handlebar instruments to allow water to
evaporate.
– After the motorcycle has cooled off, oil or grease all moving parts and bearings.
– Clean the chain. ( p. 42)
– Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) with
anti-corrosion materials.
Cleaning and polishing materials for metal, rubber and plastic ( p. 93)
– Treat all painted parts with a mild paint polish.

PROTECTION FOR WINTER OPERATION 81

Protection for winter operation


13.1

Info
If you use the motorcycle in the winter, you can expect to encounter salt on the roads. Precautions need to be taken against
road salt corrosion.
If the vehicle has been used on salted roads, clean it with cold water. Warm water intensifies the effects of salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 79)


– Treat the engine, swingarm and all other bare or galvanized parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based anticorrosive.

Info
Avoid getting anticorrosive on the brake discs: this would badly affect the braking.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.

– Clean the chain. ( p. 42)


STORAGE 82

Storage
14.1

Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
– Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immedi-
ately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, con-
tact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel. Store fuel in a suitable canister according
to regulations and keep it out of the reach of children.

Info
If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following steps.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you
should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the
start of the new season.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 79)


– Change the engine oil and oil filter, clean the engine oil screen. x( p. 72)
– Check the antifreeze and coolant level. ( p. 66)
– Check the tire air pressure. ( p. 55)
– Remove the battery. x( p. 56)
– Recharge the battery. x ( p. 58)
Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunlight. 0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)
– The storage place should be dry and not subject to large temperature fluctuations.

Info
HUSABERG recommends jacking up the motorcycle.

– Jack up the motorcycle. ( p. 32)


– Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping,
thus causing corrosion.

Info
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced during
combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.

Putting into operation after storage


14.2

– Remove the motorcycle from the work stand. ( p. 32)


– Install the battery. x( p. 57)
– Refuel. ( p. 27)
– Make checks before putting into operation. ( p. 25)
– Make a test ride.

STANDARDS 95

JASO T903 MA
Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear-
lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specifi-
cation. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the fore-
ground for motorcycle engines. With most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the oil as the engine. The JASO
MA Standard meets these special requirements.

SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their vis-
cosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
