PRESENTATION
Welcome to the Husqvarna motorcycling Family!
Your new Husqvarna motorcycle is designed and manufac-
tured 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 per-
formance 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 at-
tention of a skilled mechanic and the use of special tools
and equipment.
Your Husqvarna dealer has the facilities, experience and origi-
nal parts necessary to properly render this valuable service.
This “Owner’s Manual” is part and par-
cel of the motorcycle, hence, this had to
remain with the motorcycle even when
sold to another user.
This motorcycle uses components designed thanks to sys-
tems 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 COMPE-
TITION motorcycles exempt from functional
defects, the suggested maintenance table for
competition use is shown on Appendix A.
2) TE vehicles are STREET LEGAL motorcy-
cles (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 COMPETI-
TION MOTORCYCLES (with FULL POWER EN-
GINE), the suggested maintenance table for
competition use is shown on Appendix 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 perfor-
mance of the engine.
During the first half-hour of driving we advise keeping a low
speed and avoiding sudden accelerations. Never open the throt-
tle fully.
Change the oil and carry out all the necessary maintenance op-
erations. 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;

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
DO NOT OPERATE THE THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE
STARTING-UP.
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 car-
bon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in a
closed garage or in a confined area.
