SAFETY ADVICE 2

2.5 Tampering warning


Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited. Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing
thereof:

1 The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of servicing, repair, or replace-
ment, 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, or
2 the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by
any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

1 Removal or puncturing of the main silencers, baffles, header pipes or any other components which conduct
exhaust gases.
2 Removal or puncturing of parts of the intake system.
3 Lack of proper maintenance.
4 Replacing moving parts of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust system or intake system, with parts other
than those specified by the manufacturer.

2.6 Safe operation

Danger
Danger of accidents A rider who is not fit to ride poses a danger to him or herself and others.
– Do not operate the vehicle if you are not fit to ride due to alcohol, drugs or medication.
– Do not operate the vehicle if you are physically or mentally impaired.

Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and
death.
– Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation when running the engine.
– Use effective exhaust extraction when starting or running the engine in an enclosed space.

Warning
Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
– Do not touch any parts such as the exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, or brake sys-
tem before the vehicle parts have cooled down.
– Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle.

Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a
safe and environmentally compatible manner.
An appropriate driver's license is needed to ride the vehicle on public roads.
Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop.
Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle.

7
2 SAFETY ADVICE

2.7 Protective clothing

Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
– Wear appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as trousers and a jacket
with protectors on all rides.
– Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations.

In the interest of your own safety, Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that you only operate the vehicle while
wearing protective clothing.

2.8 Work rules


Unless specified otherwise, the ignition must be turned off during all work (models with ignition lock, models
with remote key) or the engine must be at a standstill (models without ignition lock or remote key).
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle, but can be ordered
using the number in parentheses. Example: bearing puller (15112017000)
Unless otherwise noted, normal conditions apply to all tasks and descriptions.
Ambient temperature 20 °C (68 °F)
Ambient air pressure 1,013 mbar (14.69 psi)
Relative air humidity 60 ± 5 %
During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
expansion screws, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers).
In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite®) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
If thread locker (e.g., Precote®) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread
locker.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change dam-
aged or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.

2.9 Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect
the future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental con-
sciousness, and respect the rights of others.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws
and regulations of the respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are
no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized Husqvarna Motor-
cycles dealer will be glad to advise you.

2.10 Owner's Manual


It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The
Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and service your motor-
cycle. This is the only way to find out how best to customize the vehicle for your own use and how you can
protect yourself from injury.

Info
Store the Owner's Manual on your terminal device, for example, so that you can read it whenever you
need to.

3 IMPORTANT NOTES

3.1 Manufacturer warranty, implied warranty


The work prescribed in the service schedule must only be carried out in an authorized Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles workshop and confirmed in the Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealer.net, as otherwise all warranty claims will
be void. Damage or secondary damage caused by tampering with and/or conversions on the vehicle are not
covered by the manufacturer warranty.

3.2 Fuel, auxiliary substances

Note
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
– Do not allow fuel to enter the groundwater, the soil, or the sewage system.

Use fuels and auxiliary substances in accordance with the Owner's Manual and specification.

3.3 Spare parts, accessories


For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by
Husqvarna Motorcycles and have them installed by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop. Husq-
varna Motorcycles accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer will be glad to advise you.

The current Husqvarna Motorcycles Technische Zubehör for your vehicle can be found on the
Husqvarna Motorcycles website.
International Husqvarna Motorcycles website: www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com

3.4 Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work
on the engine and chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. An incorrect suspension
setting can lead to damage and breakage of chassis components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as dusty environments, heavy rain, high heat or with a heavy
load, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the air filter, drive train, brake system,
or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next
scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly,
you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
The relevant mileage or time interval is whichever occurs first.

3.5 Figures
The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.
In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not
always necessary to disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instruc-
tions in the text.

Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning
Danger of accidents The brake system fails in the event of overheating.
If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously.
– Take your foot off the foot brake lever if you do not want to brake.

Warning
Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
– Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger or luggage with you.

Warning
Danger of accidents Salt on the roads impairs the brake system.
– Brake carefully several times to remove salt from the brake linings and the brake discs.

Warning
Danger of accidents ABS may increase the stopping distance in certain situations.
– Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.

38
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 9

Warning
Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
The ABS effectiveness is only ensured if it is switched on.
– Leave the ABS switched on in order to benefit from the protective effect.

Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
– Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.

– To brake release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Info
When the ABS is enabled, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such
as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without the danger of the wheels locking.

Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
– If possible finish braking before going into a bend.

– Always finish braking before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road
speed.
– Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. Change down one or two gears, but do not
over-rev the engine. You will have to apply the brakes far less frequently as a result and the brake system
will not overheat.

9.8 Stopping, parking

Warning
Risk of injury People who act without authorization endanger themselves and others.
– Do not leave the vehicle unattended if the engine is running.
– Protect the vehicle against access by unauthorized persons.
– Lock the steering and remove the ignition key if you leave the vehicle unattended.

Warning
Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
– Do not touch any parts such as the exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, or brake sys-
tem before the vehicle parts have cooled down.
– Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle.

Note
Material damage The vehicle may be damaged by incorrect procedure when parking.
Significant damage may be caused if the vehicle rolls away or falls over.
The components for parking the vehicle are designed only for the weight of the vehicle.
– Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface.
– Ensure that nobody sits on the vehicle when the vehicle is parked on a stand.

Note
Fire hazard Hot vehicle components pose a fire hazard and explosion risk.
– Do not park the vehicle near to materials which are highly flammable or explosive.
– Allow the vehicle to cool down before covering it.

– Apply the brakes on the motorcycle.


– Shift the transmission to neutral position.
– Switch off the ignition by turning the ignition key to the OFF position.

Info
If the engine is switched off with the emergency OFF switch and the ignition remains switched on
at the ignition lock, power continues to flow to most power consumers. This discharges the 12-V
battery. You should therefore always switch off the engine with the ignition lock – the emergency
OFF switch is intended for emergencies only.

– Park the motorcycle on a firm surface.


– Swing side stand forward with your foot as far as it will go and lean the vehicle on it.
– Lock the steering by turning the handlebar fully to the left, pressing down the ignition key to the position
and turning it to the position . To make the steering lock engage more easily, move the handlebar a little
to the left and right. Remove the ignition key.

9.9 Transport

TUNING THE CHASSIS 11

11.1 Fork/shock absorber


The fork and the shock absorber offer many options for adapting
the chassis to the riding style and the payload.

Info
The recommendations for the suspension setting are
shown in table 1 . The table is located on the underside
of the front rider's seat.

These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and


V00493-10 should always be the basis for one’s own personal suspension
setting. Do not change the adjustments at random, as otherwise
the riding characteristics could deteriorate, particularly at high
speeds.

11.2 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork

Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

– Turn white adjusting screw 1 clockwise as far as it will go.


Info
Adjusting screw 1 is located at the upper end of the
left fork leg.
The compression damping is located in left fork
leg COMP (white adjusting screw). The rebound
damping is located in right fork leg REB (red adjusting
screw).

11.4 Compression damping of the shock absorber


The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle
speed.
The high-speed compression adjuster, for example, has an effect when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear
wheel suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when riding over long ground swells: the rear
wheel suspension compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is
gradual. Thus, modifications in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range
and vice versa.

11.5 Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber

Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.

Warning
Skin irritation Brake fluid causes skin irritation.
– Keep brake fluid out of the reach of children.
– Wear suitable protective clothing and safety glasses.
– Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the skin, the eyes or clothing.
– Consult a doctor immediately if brake fluid has been swallowed.
– Rinse the affected area with plenty of water in the event of contact with the skin.

with the applicable regulations.

Info
The fluid level rises with increasing wear of the clutch facing discs.
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and clutch lines are not
designed for DOT 5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.

BRAKE SYSTEM 13

13.1 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)


The ABS module 1 , consisting of a hydraulic unit, an ABS con-
trol unit, and a return pump, is located under the seat. One wheel
speed sensor 2 is located in each case on the front and the
rear wheel.

Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the
function of the ABS.
– Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
– Only use spare parts on the brake system which have
been approved and recommended by Husqvarna
Motorcycles.
– Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motor-
cycles with the corresponding speed index.
– Maintain the specified tire pressure.
– Ensure that service work and repairs are performed
professionally. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles workshop will be glad to help.)

ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when


driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces.

Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can reduce the prob-
ability of a fall only within physical limits.
H01077-10
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme rid-
ing situations, for example with luggage loaded with
a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep
descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
– Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and
your driving ability.

Warning
Danger of accidents An incorrectly selected ABS
mode makes control of the vehicle considerably more
difficult.
The ABS modes are each only suitable for certain condi-
tions.
– Always select an ABS mode that is compatible with
the surface of the ground.

ABS has two operating modes: the Road and Supermoto ABS
modes.
In ABS mode Road, the ABS controls both wheels.
In ABS mode Supermoto, the ABS only controls the front
wheel. There is no ABS control on the rear wheel. The
ABS warning lamp 3 flashes slowly to remind you that the
Supermoto ABS mode is enabled.

65
13 BRAKE SYSTEM

Info
In the Supermoto ABS mode, the rear wheel may lock
and there is a risk of falling.
ABS mode Supermoto is only available in riding
mode SPORT.

The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front


and rear brakes). When the ABS control unit detects a locking
tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure.
The control function causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot
brake levers.
The ABS warning lamp 3 must light up after the ignition is
switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out
after starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indicates a
malfunction in the ABS. In this case, the ABS is no longer
enabled and the wheels may lock during braking. The brake
system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not available.
The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds
of the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding
conditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear
wheel spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, the vehicle must be stopped and the igni-
tion switched off. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is
switched on again. The ABS warning lamp goes out when you
start off.

Info
The motorcycle has an additional 5-D sensor. The 5-D
sensor makes the ABS control dependent on the angle of
inclination and pitch. This can prevent locking and slip-
ping of the wheels during braking when the vehicle is
inclined (riding in curves) within the physical limitations.

13.2 Adjusting the basic position of the hand brake lever


– Adjust the basic position of the hand brake lever to your hand
size by turning adjusting wheel 1 .

Push the hand brake lever forward and turn the
adjusting wheel.
Do not make any adjustments while riding.

– Ensure that damaged or worn tires are replaced immediately. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles workshop will be glad to help.)

79
14 WHEELS, TIRES

Warning
Danger of crashing Different tire tread patterns on the front and rear wheel impair the handling char-
acteristic.
Different tire tread patterns can make the vehicle significantly more difficult to control.
– Make sure that only tires with a similar tire tread pattern are fitted to the front and rear wheel.

Warning
Danger of accidents Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling
characteristic.
– Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motorcycles with the corresponding speed index.

Warning
Danger of accidents New tires have reduced road grip.
The contact surface on new tires is not yet roughened.
– Run in new tires with moderate riding at alternating angles.
Running-in phase 200 km (124 mi)

Info
The type, condition, and pressure of the tires all have a major impact on the handling characteristic of
the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on handling characteristics, especially on wet surfaces.

– Check the front and rear tires for cuts, run-in objects, and
other damage.
» If the tires have cuts, run-in objects, or other damage:
– Change the tires.
– Check the tread depth.

Info
Adhere to the legally required minimum tread depth.
400602-10
Minimum tread depth ≥ 2 mm (≥ 0.08 in)
» If the tread depth is less than the minimum tread depth:
– Change the tires.
– Check the tire age.

Info
The tire date of manufacture is usually contained in
the tire label and is indicated by the last four digits
of the DOT number. The first two digits indicate the
week of manufacture and the last two digits the year
of manufacture.
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that the tires be
H01144-10 changed after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the
actual state of wear.

» If the tires are more than 5 years old:


– Change the tires.

14.7 Tubeless tire system


This vehicle uses a tubeless tire system in which a rim seal
band 1 is used instead of the conventional tube.
The advantages of the tubeless system lie in the absence of dan-
ger from a faulty tube. This greatly reduces the risk of a sudden
loss in pressure.
The moments of inertia of these wheels are smaller than in con-
ventional spoked wheels with a tube. This results in better han-
dling and riding comfort.
The rigid rim design results in a wire spoke wheel that is almost
entirely maintenance-free.
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that the rim seal band is
changed after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the actual state
of wear.

301978-10

14.8 Checking tire pressure

Info
Low tire pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.
Correct tire pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.

– Remove the protection cap.


– Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Tire pressure when solo
front 2.0 bar (29 psi)
rear 2.0 bar (29 psi)

Tire pressure with passenger / full payload


front 2.0 bar (29 psi)
400695-01
rear 2.2 bar (32 psi)
» If the tire pressure does not meet specifications:
– Correct the tire pressure.
– Mount the protection cap.

81
14 WHEELS, TIRES

14.9 Checking spoke tension

Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in
secondary damage.
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes
is too low, then lateral and radial run-out will form in the wheel. Other spokes will become looser as a
result.
– Check spoke tension regularly, and in particular on a new vehicle. (Your authorized Husqvarna
Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)

Info
A loose spoke can unbalance the wheel and other spokes may loosen within a short period.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.

– Strike each spoke briefly using a screwdriver blade.

Info
The frequency of the sound depends on the spoke
length and spoke diameter.
If you hear different tone frequencies from different
spokes of equal length and diameter, this is an indica-
tion of different spoke tensions.

400694-01 You should hear a high note.


» If the spoke tension differs:
– Correct the spoke tension.

14.10 Using tire repair spray

Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrect use of tire repair spray
will result in the repaired tire losing pressure.
Tire repair spray cannot be used for all types of damage.
– Observe the instructions and specifications of the
manufacturer of the tire repair spray.
– After repairing a tire with tire repair spray, ride slowly
H03319-01 and carefully.
– Ride no further than to the nearest workshop and
have the tire changed.

Tire repair spray should only be used in an emergency.


We recommend transporting the broken down vehicle to the
nearest workshop instead of using tire repair spray.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 15

Info
Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the
safety valves. This reduces the capacity of the 12-V battery.
If the 12-V battery is depleted by repeated starting, the 12-V battery must be charged immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and sulfating occurs, destroying the battery.

COOLING SYSTEM 16

16.1 Cooling system


Water pump 1 in the engine ensures forced circulation of the
coolant.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is
regulated by a valve in radiator cap 2 . Heat expansion causes
excess coolant to flow into compensating tank 3 . When the
temperature falls, this surplus coolant is sucked back into the
cooling system. This ensures that operating the vehicle at the
specified coolant temperature will not result in a risk of malfunc-
tions.
V01491-10

125 °C (257 °F)


The coolant is cooled by the air stream and a radiator fan, which
is activated at high temperature.
The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins
also reduce the cooling effect.

CLEANING, CARE 19

19.1 Cleaning the motorcycle

Note
Material damage Components become damaged or destroyed if a pressure cleaner is used incorrectly.
The high pressure forces water into the electrical components, connectors, throttle cables, and bearings, etc.
Pressure which is too high causes malfunctions and destroys components.
– Do not direct the water jet directly on to electrical components, connectors, throttle cables or bearings.
– Maintain a minimum distance between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component.
Minimum clearance 60 cm (23.6 in)

Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance
with the applicable regulations.

Info
To maintain the value and appearance of the motorcycle over a long period, clean it regularly.
Avoid direct sunshine when cleaning the motorcycle.

– Close off exhaust system to keep water from entering.


– Remove loose dirt first with a soft jet of water.
– Spray the heavily soiled parts with a normal commercial
motorcycle cleaner and clean using a brush.
Motorcycle cleaner ( p. 127)

Info
Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner
401061-01
and a soft sponge.
Never apply motorcycle cleaner to a dry vehicle;
always rinse the vehicle with water first.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with
cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive
effects of salt.

– After rinsing the motorcycle with a gentle spray of water,


allow it to dry thoroughly.
– Remove the closure of the exhaust system.

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.

– After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the


engine warms up.

107
19 CLEANING, CARE

Info
The heat produced causes water at inaccessible loca-
tions in the engine and on the brake system to evapo-
rate.

– Push back the protection caps of the handlebar controls to


allow any water that has penetrated to evaporate.
– After the motorcycle has cooled down, lubricate all moving
parts and pivot points.
– Clean the chain. ( p. 58)
– Treat bare metal (except for brake discs and the exhaust sys-
tem) with a corrosion inhibitor.
Preserving materials for paints, metal and rubber
( p. 127)
– Treat all painted parts with a mild paint care product.
Perfect finish and high gloss polish for paints ( p. 127)

Info
Do not polish parts that were matte when delivered as
this would strongly impair the material quality.

– Treat all plastic parts and powder-coated parts with a mild


cleaning and care product.
Special cleaner for glossy and matte paint finishes, metal
and plastic surfaces ( p. 127)
– Lubricate the ignition/steering lock.
Universal oil spray ( p. 127)

19.2 Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation

Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, salt can be expected on the roads. You should therefore take pre-
cautions against aggressive road salt.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly clean the vehicle with cold water and dry it well. Warm water
enhances the corrosive effects of salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 107)


– Clean the brake system.

Info
After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly clean
the brake calipers and brake linings, after they have
cooled down and without removing them, with cold
water and dry them carefully.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly clean the
401060-01
motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.

– Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or zinc-
plated parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based corro-
sion inhibitor.

108
CLEANING, CARE 19

Info
Corrosion inhibitor must not come in contact with the

20 STORAGE

20.1 Storage

Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
– Avoid skin, eye and clothing contact with fuel.
– Immediately consult a doctor if you swallow fuel.
– Do not inhale fuel vapors.
– In case of skin contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water.
– Rinse the eyes thoroughly with water, and consult a doctor in case of fuel contact with the eyes.
– Change your clothing in case of fuel spills on them.
– Keep fuels correctly in a suitable canister, and out of the reach of children.

Info
If you plan to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, perform the following steps or have them per-
formed.
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.

– When refueling for the last time before taking the motorcycle
out of service, add fuel additive.

Info
The fuel additive stabilities the fuel for longer storage
and makes starting easier next time.

– Refuel. ( p. 41)
– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 107)

to air.

110
STORAGE 20

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent
humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
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 the exhaust system to rust.

20.2 Preparing for use after storage


– Take the motorcycle off the front lifting gear. ( p. 51)
– Remove the rear of the motorcycle from the wheel stand.
( p. 51)

Coolant
Guideline
– Only use high-grade, silicate-free coolant with corrosion inhibitor additive for aluminum motors. Low grade
and unsuitable antifreeze causes corrosion, deposits and frothing.
– Do not use pure water as only coolant is able to meet the requirements needed in terms of corrosion pro-
tection and lubrication properties.
– Only use coolant that complies with the requirements stated (see specifications on the container) and that
has the relevant properties.
Antifreeze protection to at least −25 °C (−13 °F)

The mixture ratio must be adjusted to the necessary antifreeze protection. Use distilled water if the coolant
needs to be diluted.

The use of premixed coolant is recommended.

Observe the coolant manufacturer specifications for antifreeze protection, dilution and miscibility (compatibility)
with other coolants.

25 STANDARDS

JASO T903 MA2


Different technical development directions required a separate specification for motorcycles – the
JASO T903 MA2 standard.
Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for motorcycles because there was no separate
motorcycle specification.
Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, the focus for motorcycle engines is on
high performance at high engine speeds.
In most motorcycle engines, the transmission and clutch are lubricated with the same oil.
The JASO T903 MA2 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 viscosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
