DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
- 21 -
CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE EACH START
When you start off, the motorcycle must be in perfect technical
condition. For safety reasons, you should make a habit of perfor-
ming an overall check of your motorcycle before each start.
The following checks should be performed:
1 Check the oil level
Insufficient oil results in premature wear and consequently to
engine damage.
2 Fuel
Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank; when closing the fil-
ler cap, check that the tank venting hose is free of kinks.
3 Chain
A loose chain can fall from the chain wheels; an extremely worn
chain can tear, and insufficient lubrication can result in unneces-
sary wear to the chain and chain wheels. Excessive tensioning of
the chain will put additional load on the components of the
secondary drivetrain (chain, bearings of transmission and rear
wheel). Aside from resulting in premature wear, if worst comes to
worst the chain may rupture or the countershaft of the transmis-
sion may break.
4 Tires
Check for damaged tires. Tires showing cuts or dents must be
replaced. The tread depth must comply with the legal regulati-
ons. Also check the air pressure. Insufficient tread and incorrect
air pressure deteriorate the driving performance.
5 Brakes
Check correct functioning of the braking system. Check for suffi-
cient brake fluid in the reservoir. The reservoirs have been desi-
gned in such a way that brake fluid does not need to be refilled
even when the brake pads are worn. If the level of brake fluid
falls below the minimum value, this indicates a leak in the bra-
king system or completely worn out brake pads. Arrange for the
braking system to be checked by a Husaberg specialist, as com-
plete failure of the braking system can be avoided.
Also check the state of the brake hose and the thickness of the
brake linings.
Check free travel at the hand brake lever and foot brake lever.
6 Cables
Check correct setting and easy running of all control cables.
7 Cooling fluid
Check the level of the cooling fluid when the engine is cold.
8 Electrical system
Check correct functioning of headlamps, tail-lights, brake lights,
indicators, control lamps and horn while the engine is running.
9 Luggage
If you are taking luggage with you, check that this is securely
fastened.
10 Rear mirror
Checking the rear mirror setting.
