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. The main work of repair or maintenance 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” is part and parcel of the motorcycle, hence, this had 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 TXCi models are guarante- ed COMPETITION motorcycles exempt from functional defects, the suggested maintenance table for competition use is shown on Appendix A.

2) TE vehicles 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 is observed. If TE vehicles are transformed in COMPETITION MOTORCYCLES (with FULL POWER ENGINE), the suggested maintenance table for competition use is shown on Appendix A.

IMPORTANT

The reference for recognition of the guarantee will be the MOTORCYCLE CONFIGURATION, as shown below:

A) STANDARD MOTORCYCLE, STREET LEGAL: with LIMITED POWER ENGINE B) COMPETITION MOTORCYCLE, RACING USE: with FULL POWER ENGINE

This motorcycles was not designed for long trips with the engine always at maximum rpm as can occur whilst travelling on roads or highways. Long trips at full throttle can cause severe damage to the engine. This motorcycles is setup for competition use and therefore guarantees maximum performance with the rider alone. It is thereby not recommended to use the vehicle on circuits or off-road with a passenger.

ALWAYS keep in mind that these motorcycles have been designed strictly for competition use, that is, for conditions of usage very different from those presented on the road.

ALWAYS keep in mind that these motorcycles have been designed strictly for competition use, that is, for conditions of usage very different from those presented on the road.

RUNNING 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 DURING RUNNING

- SPOKE TENSION OF WHEELS;

- TIGHTENING OF WHEELS;

- FORK PIN TIGHTENING;

- CHAIN ADJUSTMENT;

- STEERING BEARING PLAY;

- HANDLEBAR TIGHTENING;

- ENGINE GRIP TO FRAME;

- SUCTION FITTING GRIP;

- HEAD AND CYLINDER NUTS GRIP;

OFTEN CHECK THE BATTERY CHARGE CONDITION

EN - 18

ENGINE START (TC)

While the engine is cold, i.e., after the motorcycle has not been used for a while or in low ambient temperatures, operate in the following manner:

1) pull the clutch lever (1);

2) pull the starter lever (2);

3) shift gear pedal (3) to neutral position then release the clutch control level;

4) COMPLETELY lower the pedal (4) until the engine starts.Bring

the starter lever (2) back to its original position as soon as the motor can idle. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF COLD STARTS AT

LOW TEMPERATURES

It is recommended to briefly warm-up the engine at idle until, 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.

IMPORTANT

Never accelerate the engine after a cold start.

WARNING*: Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or in a confined area.

Kick start pedal WARNING*: This high performance motor-

cycle can some times «kick back» strongly when you are starting it. Do not attempt to start this motorcycle unless you are wearing high top heavy sided riding boots. You could seriously hurt you leg if the kickstarter kicked back and your foot slipped.

ENGINE START (TE)

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) Check that the button (5) is in the out position and press it, followed by the start button (6). Bring the starter lever (2) back to its original position as soon as the motor can idle. 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.

IMPORTANT NEVER START WITH DISCONNECTED BATTERY.
