MEANS OF REPRESENTATION 4
Symbols used
The symbols used are explained in the following.
Indicates an expected reaction (e.g. of a work step or a function).
All work marked with this symbol requires specialist knowledge and technical understanding. In the interest of
your own safety, have these jobs done in an authorized HUSABERG workshop! There, your motorcycle will be ser-
viced optimally by specially trained experts using the specialist tools required.
Formats used
The typographical and other formats used are explained in the following.
Name Identifies a proprietary name.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.

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.

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 imme-
diately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel.
Warning

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

Smaller weight differences can be compensated by changing the spring preload.
100374-10
Info
The heim joint for the shock absorber at the swing arm is Teflon coated. It
must not be greased with grease or with other lubricants. Lubricants dis-
solve the Teflon coating, thereby drastically reducing the service life.
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.
– As with the shock absorber, smaller weight differences can be compensated by the
spring preload.
– However, if your fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), you must
fit harder springs to avoid damage to the fork and frame.

Info
Only mount tires approved or recommended by HUSABERG.
Other tires could have a negative effect on riding behavior.
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an important impact on the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
The front and rear wheels must be mounted with tires with similar profiles.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.
– Examine the front and rear tires for cuts, foreign bodies and other damage.
» If you find cuts, foreign bodies or other damage on a tire:
– Change the tire.
– Check the depth of the tread.
Info
Note local national regulations concerning the minimum tread depth.
Info
Low tire air pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.
Correct tire air pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.
Warning
Danger of accidents Unstable riding behavior due to loose spokes.
– If you ride with loose spokes, the spokes can break. Have the spoke tension corrected in an authorized HUSABERG work-
shop.
Info
A loose spoke can cause wheel imbalance, which leads to more loose spokes in a short time.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.
Info
If you hear different tone frequencies from different spokes, this is an indi-
100418-10
cation of different spoke tensions.

Warning
Environmental hazard Problem materials cause environmental damage.
– Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc. according to regulations.
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.
– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the seat. ( p. 56)
– Disconnect the minus (negative) cable of the battery to avoid damage to the motor-
cycle's electronics.
– Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.
Battery charger (81229074000)
You can also use the battery charger to test rest potential and start potential of the
battery, and to test the generator. With this device, you cannot overcharge the bat-
tery.
Info
Never remove lid .
Charge the battery with at most 10% of the capacity specified on the bat-
tery .
The charge current, charge voltage and charge time must not be exceeded.
Charge the battery regularly when the 3 months
motorcycle is not in use.
100425-10 Tip
If the vehicle will not be operated for more than two weeks, we recommend
trickle charging the battery using the HUSABERG battery charger. The
charger charges the battery fully and then maintains it in this state for the
ensuing period. In this way, the battery will be fully charged when you put
the vehicle back into operation.
Warning
Fire hazard The electrical system can be overloaded by the use of incorrect fuses.
– Use only fuses with the prescribed amperage. Never by-pass or repair fuses.

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.
