MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

ENGLISH
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER *
The air filter must be cleaned prior to every race or depending on the accu-
mulation of dust.
To clean, remove the seat, unscrew the wing screw and remove the air
filter together with the filter support.
CAUTION: Do not clean air filter with fuel or petroleum since
these damage the foam. Husaberg recommends the products
of the company „Motorex“ for air filter maintenance. (Motorex
Bio Dirt Remover + Motorex Liquid Bio Power)
Never operate your motorcycle without air filter. Otherwise,
dust and dirt may get into the engine and lead to increased
wear.
Thoroughly wash the air filter with special cleaning fluid and allow to dry.
Press out the water from the air filter but do not wring. Lubricate the dry
air filter with high-grade filter oil. Check the carburetor connection boot
for damage and a good fit.
Mount the air filter on the filter support. Attach the air filter and filter sup-
port to the frame, making sure it is centered and fix with the wing screw.
CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE HAND
DECOMPRESSION RELEASE CABLE *
Start the engine and, at idling speed, slowly pull the hand decompression
lever until you can feel the thumping of the rocker arm on the lever. The
backlash until said thumping should be approx. 10mm, measured at the
lever's outer end. If necessary, correct this backlash.
To adjust, move back the protective cover (1), loosen the counter nut (2)
and correct the adjustment screw (3) accordingly. Tighten counter nut and
push back protective cover.
CAUTION: The setting of the decompression cable should be
checked regulary. If there is no play in the deko-lever, this can
result in engine damage.
NOTE: No adjustment need be made to the automatic decom-
pressor.
ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLES *
The throttle grip should always provide for a backlash of 3-5 mm. Besi-
des, with the engine running, the idling speed must not change if you turn
the handlebar all the way to the left or right.
To adjust the throttle cables, dismount the seat and the tank together with
spoilers. Slide back the protection cover (4). Loosen the counternut (5)
and turn the adjusting screw bk accordingly. Turning the adjusting screw
(6) counterclockwise will reduce the backlash, turning the adjusting screw
clockwise will increase the backlash.
Tighten the counternut and check whether the throttle grip can be
actuated smoothly. Mount tank and seat.
