PRESENTATION
Welcome to the Husqvarna motorcycling Family!
Your new Husqvarna motorcycle is designed and man-
ufactured to be the best 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 motorcy-
cling pleasure. Your owner’s manual contains instruc-
tions for owner care and maintenance. The main repair
or maintenance work 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, it shall
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 competitions.
In racing motorcycles, every detail is verified after each
race in order to always guarantee better performance.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the vehicle, it is nec-
essary to follow the maintenance and inspection table
found under Appendix A.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
1) TC - TXC models are designed for RACING use, and guar-
anteed free from operating faults; the recommended mainte-
nance table for racing use can be found in Appendix A.
2) TE models are designed for ROAD use, guaranteed
free from faults, and covered by legal warranty provided
that NO CHANGE IS MADE TO THE STANDARD SETTING and
that the intervals specified on maintenance table of Ap-
pendix A are complied with.
3) All the motorcycles and any of their
parts used in competitions of any type
are excluded from the warranty.

of serious harm to people or children.
lTo prevent the vehicle from tipping over, nev-
er park it on soft or uneven ground, nor on
asphalt strongly heated by the sun.
l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 scalds.
IMPORTANT
In order to maintain the vehicle’s “Guar-
antee of Functionality”, the client must
follow the maintenance programme in-
dicated in the user’s manual by carrying
out maintenance inspections at author-
ised HUSQVARNA dealers.

labour necessary in order to comply
with the maintenance plan is charged to
the Client.

GEAR SHIFT CONTROL
The lever (1) is placed on the left-hand side of the en-
gine. The operator must release the lever after each gear
change to allow it to return to its central position. Neutral
position (N) is between the first and second gears.
First gear is engaged by pushing the lever downwards;
for other gears push it upwards.
The position of the gear shift lever on the shaft can be
varied as follows: loosen the screw, pull the lever out,
and place the lever in a new position on the shaft.
Tighten the screw once operation is completed.
CAUTION*: Do not shift gears without
disengaging the clutch and closing the
throttle. The engine could be damaged
by overspeed.
WARNING*: Do not downshift when trav-
elling at a speed that would force the en-
gine to overrev in the next lower gear,
or cause the rear wheel to lose grip.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE MOTORCYCLE
NOTE*: If you are not familiar with the
motorcycle operation, read paragraphs
on “CONTROLS” before riding this mo-
torcycle.
PRE-RIDE CHECKS
Any time you ride your motorcycle, make a general in-
spection rst and proceed to check the following:
- check fuel level and engine oil level;
- check the brake and clutch fluids level;
- check the steering by turning the handlebar both ways,
fully home;
- check the tyre pressure;
- check the chain tension;
- check the throttle twistgrip and adjust it, if necessary;
- The two screw taps positioned on tanks left rear side,
shall always be left in fully OPEN position.
- TE: turn the key in the ignition switch to ON: check
dashboard display lighting;
- TE: check that parking lights, low beam, and high beam
come on, as well as the relevant warning light;
- TE: operate turning indicators, and check that the rel-
evant warning light comes on;
- TE: check that the rear stop light comes on.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING-IN
The exclusivity of the design, coupled to the high quality
of the materials used and the accuracy of the assembly,
guarantee the higher comfort right from the start. Never-
theless, during the rst 4 hours, you will have to THOR-
OUGHLY respect the following rules. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THEM COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT MOTORCYCLE LIFE
AND PERFORMANCE.
- warm up the engine by running at low revs before us-
ing the motorcycle;
- avoid quick starts and never rev up the engine when in
low gear;
- ride at low speed until the engine is warmed up;
- apply both brakes several times to settle the pads and
the discs;
- do not maintain the same speed for a long time;
- do not ride for a long time without stopping;
- NEVER drive downhill with GEARBOX IN NEUTRAL, but
shift into gear to brake with the engine if necessary,
thus preventing the fast wear of the brake pads.
- Max. speed during running-in period: 80 Km/h in 5th
gear (TC) or 6th gear (TE-TXC).
- Have the first inspection be carried out after the first 4
hours of operation.
