SAFETY ADVICE 2
2.14 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, be environmentally aware,
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 Motorcycles dealer will be glad to advise you.
2.15 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 maintain your
motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can
protect yourself from injury.
Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an
authorized Husqvarna dealer.
The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner if
the vehicle is sold.
The Owner's Manual is also available for download from your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer and on
the Husqvarna Motorcycles website.

3 IMPORTANT NOTES
3.1 Manufacturer and implied warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles
workshop only and confirmed both in the customer's Service & Warranty Booklet and in the Husqvarna Motor-
cycles Dealer.net; 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 warranty.
Additional information on the manufacturer or implied warranty and the procedures involved can be found in
the Service & Warranty Booklet.
3.2 Operating and 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.

3.3 Spare parts, accessories

IMPORTANT NOTES 3
The current Husqvarna Motorcycles accessories 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. Incorrect adjustment
and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such in rain, high heat or with a heavy load, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the 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.
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 instructions in the text.
3.6 Customer service
Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding
your vehicle and Husqvarna Motorcycles.
