IMPORTANT NOTES5
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 breakage 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 washers) 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.

7.2Starting
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)
–Pull the idle speed adjusting screw all the way out.
–Press the electric starter button.
100370-11
Info
Do not open the throttle to start.
Press the starter for a maximum of 5 seconds. Wait for a least 5 seconds
until trying again.
Warning lamp FI lights up briefly as a functional control when starting.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS26
7.3Starting up
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.
7.4Shifting, riding
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 workshop.
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 component is affected by a fault.
