PRESENTATION

Welcome to the Husqvarna motorcycling Family!
Your new Husqvarna motorcycle is designed and manufac­tured to be the finest in its field.
The instructions in this book have been prepared to provide a
simple and understandable guide for your motorcycle’s opera­tion and care.
Follow the instructions carefully to obtain maximum perfor­mance and your personal motorcycling pleasure. Your owner’s
manual contains instructions for owner care and maintenance.
Information covering repair of major units such as engine,
transmission, etc. is provided in the Husqvarna Service Manual.
The information concerning details or main work of repair or
maintenance are described in the Husqvarna Service Manual.
This manual is available upon request by stating the code
number set on pages 95, 96, 97, 98. Work of this kind requires
the attention of a skilled mechanic and the use of special tools
and equipment.
Your Husqvarna dealer has the facilities, experience and original
parts necessary to properly render this valuable service.

This “Owner’s Manual” and the “Purchase
Registration Booklet” are parts and parcels
of the motorcycle, hence, they have to re­main with the motorcycle even when sold to
another user.This “Owner’s Manual” and
the “Purchase Registration Booklet” are
parts and parcels of the motorcycle, hence,
they have to remain with the motorcycle
even when sold to another user.

This motorcycle uses components designed thanks to systems
and state of the art technologies which are thereafter tested in
competition.
In competition motorcycles, every detail is verified after each race
in order to always guarantee better performance. For correct func­tioning of the vehicle, it is necessary to follow the maintenance
and control table found on Appendix A.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

1) The TC and TXC models are guar­anteed COMPETITION motorcycles ex­empt from functional defects, the sug­gested maintenance table for compe­tition use is shown on Appendix A.

2) TE and SMR are STREET LEGAL
motorcycles (with LIMITED POWER EN­GINE); they are guaranteed exempt
from functional defects and covered
with legal guarantee, if the STAN­DARD CONFIGURATION is maintained
and the suggested maintenance table,
shown on Appendix A (page A8) is ob­served.
If TE and SMR are transformed in
COMPETITION MOTORCYCLES (with
FULL POWER ENGINE), the suggested
maintenance table for competition use
is shown on Appendix A.

FUEL COCK (TC-TXC)

The left-side tap (2) is a screw tap: screw the ring nut (A) to
close the tap, loosen the ring nut to open the tap.

WARNING*: Be careful not to touch the hot
engine while operating the fuel valve.

A fuel filter is incorporated in the fuel valves. Accumulation of
dirt in the filter will restrict the flow of the fuel to the carbure­tor. Therefore, the fuel filter should be serviced periodically.

1

1 Loosen the input plug (1) on the fuel tank and close the tap;
2 Remove the fuel hose (3) from the carburetor and insert the

hose in a vessel;
3 Open the tap and drain the fuel out of the tank;
4 Remove the fuel valve by removing the screws. Wash the fuel

screen filter in cleaning solvent;
5 Reassemble the fuel valve in the reverse order of removal.

Open the tap and check for leaks.

FUEL INJECTION ENGINE (TE-SMR)

On vehicles which are fitted with a fuel injection engine, the
fuel pump is built into the fuel tank and there is no tap mount­ed on the fuel supply system. The quantity of remaining fuel is
indicated on the digital dash-board by the special warning
light (see on page 16).

SIDESTAND

A sidestand (1) is supplied with every motorcycle.

FUEL

Recommended fuel: premium grade unleaded fuel. (R.O.N.

98).

WARNING*: The stand is designed to sup­port the weight of the MOTORCYCLE ONLY.
Do not sit on the motorcycle using the stand
for support as this could cause structural
failure to the stand and could cause serious
bodily injury.

Periodically check the side stand (see “Periodical maintenance
card”); check that the springs are not damaged and that the
side stand freely moves. If the side stand is noisy, lubricate the
fastening pivot (A).

Note*: Do not continue operation if the en­gine pings or knocks. The engine will be da­maged and could seize.

WARNING*: If "knocking" or "pinging" oc­curs, try a different brand of gasoline or hi­gher octane grade.

WARNING*: Gasoline is extremely flamma­ble and can be explosive under certain con­ditions. Always stop the engine and do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the
area where the motorcycle is refueled or
gasoline is stored.

WARNING*: Do not overfill the tank. After
refueling, make sure the tank cap (1) is clo­sed securely.

RUNNIN IN

Before using the motorcycle for sporting activities run in the
engine for two hours at least to increase the life and the per­formance of the engine.
During the first half-hour of driving we advise keeping a low
speed and avoiding sudden accelerations. Never open the
throttle fully.
Change the oil and carry out all the necessary maintenance op­erations. After the first half-hour of driving, lightly increase the
rev number, but never run the engine at full throttle. Never
keep low speeds when the high gears are inserted.
Slowly drive the motorcycle for two hours before using it for
sporting activities.

CHECKS WHILE RUNNING IN

- SPOKE TENSION OF WHEELS (see page 78);

- TIGHTENING OF WHEELS (see page 92-93);

- FORK PIN TIGHTENING (see page 92);

- CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (see page 51);

- STEERING BEARING PLAY (see page 40);

- HANDLEBAR TIGHTENING (see page 92);

- ENGINE GRIP TO FRAME (see page 92);

- SUCTION FITTING GRIP (see page 92);

- HEAD AND CYLINDER NUTS GRIP (see page 92);

OFTEN CHECK THE BATTERY CHARGE CONDITION (see page 86).

ENGINE START (TE-SMR)

With cold engine, as after a prolonged inactivity of the motor­cycle or in presence of a low external temperature, proceed as
follows:

1) set ignition key (1) in IGNITION position (the buzz that you
hear when you turn the key to IGNITION is caused by the
fuel pump which puts the feeding system under pressure);

2) pull the starter lever (2);

3) pull the clutch lever (3);

4) shift gear pedal (4) in neutral position then release the
clutch control lever;

5) press the engine start-stop switch (5) then the start button
(6).

Put the start lever (2) in its initial position as soon as the en­gine is idling. When starting with an already warmed up en­gine DO NOT USE the starter. When a cold engine has just been
started, do not increase revs, to ensure an
adequate oil warm-up and circulation.

NOTE
A safety switch is set on the clutch lever support. This switch al­lows you ONLY to start the engine with idle gearbox, or with
the gear engaged and the clutch lever pulled.
IMPORTANT
NEVER START WITH DISCONNECTED BATTERY.

STARTING DECOMPRESSOR

Though the engine is provided with an automatic decompressor,
can be necessary, in some cases (carburetor flooding or starting
difficulties due to a battery inadequate charge), to use the man­ual starting decompressor on the L.H. side of the handlebar. In
these cases, pull the lever (5) whilst simultaneously pressing
the starter button, release the lever (5) keeping the button
pressed and afterwards release the latter as well.
In order to adjust the lever decompressor free play (approximately
3 mm- 0.12 in.), the lever holder is provided with the adjuster (6);
the adjustment can be also effected with the tightener (7) on the
R.H. side of the engine (use this tightener if it is not possible to ob­tain the correct free play with the adjuster on the handlebar).

after having disengaged the starter, there is a normal re­sponse from the engine when opening the throttle.
In this way the oil can reach all the surfaces needing lubrica­tion and the coolant will reach the necessary temperature for
correct engine function.
Avoid overheating the engine.

Never accelerate the engine after a cold start.

IMPORTANT

WARNING*: Exhaust contains poisonous car­bon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in
a closed garage or in a confined area.
In the case of using a kick-starter, keep in
mind the undermentioned note.
