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 TXC models are guaranteed 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.

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.

never park it on soft or uneven ground, nor
on asphalt strongly heated by the sun.
•Engine and exhaust pipes become very hot
during riding. Always park your motorcycle where people or children can not easily
reach these parts, in order to avoid serious
burns.

CONTROLS
FUEL COCK
There is an ON-OFF fuel cock (1) on the right side of the
tank; make sure it is always on “ON” position.
There is a screw-type fuel cock (2) on the right side of the
tank; make sure it is always in its max. opening position.
On these models, the cocks operate only as by-passes;
ON-OFF cock has a fuel level sensor which sends the reserve indication to a light on the instrument panel (TE) or
on the control panel (TXC).
WARNING*: Be careful not to touch the hot
engine while operating the fuel valve.
SIDE STAND
These models have a side stand (1) on the left side of the motorcycle.
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.
WARNING*: The motorcycle MUST be set on
the side stand ONLY AFTER the rider has got
off the vehicle. Stand AUTOMATICALLY folds
back to rest position once the vehicle is vertical, no longer resting on the ground.
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).

.
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;

ENGINE START
With cold engine, as after a prolonged inactivity of the
motorcycle or in presence of a low external temperature,
proceed as follows:
1) pull knob (1) towards the outside;
2) pull clutch lever (2) and hold it in place;
3) shift gear pedal (3) to neutral position;
4) press start button (4);
5) release the clutch lever (2);
6) take starter knob (1) back to its initial position as soon as
engine stays idle.
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.

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.

COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
Check level (1) in right-hand radiator when engine is cold (place
the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground). The
coolant should be approximately 10 mm above cells and besides.
The radiator cap (A) is provided of two unlocking positions, the
first being for the previous pressure discharge in the cooling
system.
WARNING
Avoid removing radiator cap when engine
is hot, as coolant may spout out and cause
scalding.
NOTE
Difficulties may arise in eliminating coolant
from varnished surfaces. If this occurs, wash
off with water.

REPLACEMENT OF COOLING FLUID
Place a vessel on the L.H. side of the cylinder, under the Piping (1).
Remove the exhaust pipe (a). Loosen the pipe strap (2) of the piping (1), take the pipe off the fitting that secures it to the engine, then
SLOWLY open the R.H. radiator cap (3); slope the motorcycle on the left
side to drain the coolant easily in the vessel.
When finished, refit the hose (1), secure it with the clamp (2)
and refit the drain hose.
Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the radiator then warm
up the engine in order to eliminate any possible air bubbles.
Periodically check the connecting hoses (see “Periodical maintenance card”): this will avoid coolant leakages and consequent
engine seizure: If hoses (A) show cracks, swelling or hardenings
due to sheats desiccation, their replacement shall be advisable.
Check the correct tightening of the clamps (B).

THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
To check the correct adjustment of the throttle operate as follows:
- Remove rubber caps (1);
- by moving the opening cable (2) back and forth, check that
free play is 3 mm;
- by moving the closing cable (3) back and forth, check that free
play is 1 mm;
- if it does not happen, loosen the nut (4) and appropriately
turn the adjuster screw (5);
(loosen it to decrease clearance, tighten it to increase it);
- after adjustment block the nut (4).
WARNING*: Operation with damaged throttle cable could result in an unsafe riding condition.
WARNING*: Exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas. Never run the engine
in a closed area or in a confined area.
ADJUSTING THE IDLE
Adjust the carburetor with warm engine and with the throttle
control in closed position. Proceed as follows:
- turn the knob (1) on the left side of the throttle body of about
34 clicks from the fully closed position, checking with the suitable device that revs are of about 1,950 RPM (turn clockwise
to increase the speed and counter clockwise to reduce it).
