2.8 Work rules
Unless specified otherwise, the ignition must be turned off during all work (models with ignition lock, models
with remote key) or the engine must be at a standstill (models without ignition lock or remote key).
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle, but can be ordered
using the number in parentheses. Example: bearing puller (15112017000)
Unless otherwise noted, normal conditions apply to all tasks and descriptions.
Ambient temperature 20 °C (68 °F)
Ambient air pressure 1,013 mbar (14.69 psi)
Relative air humidity 60 ± 5 %
During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
expansion screws, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers).
In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite®) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
If thread locker (e.g., Precote®) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread
locker.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change dam-
aged or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2.9 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, used components, and, if applicable, the end-
of-life motorcycle, comply with the respective laws and regulations of the respective country.
2.10 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 service your motor-
cycle. This is the only way to find out how best to customize the vehicle for your own use and how you can
protect yourself from injury.
Tip
Store the Owner's Manual on your terminal device, for example, so that you can read it whenever you
need to.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an
authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer.
The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle. If the vehicle is sold, the Owner's Manual must
be downloaded again by the new owner.
The Owner's Manual can be downloaded several times using the QR code or the link on the delivery certificate.

3 IMPORTANT NOTES
10
3.1 Manufacturer warranty, implied warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must only be carried out in an authorized Husqvarna Motorcy-
cles workshop and confirmed in the Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealer.net, as 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 manufacturer warranty.
3.2 Fuel, 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.
Use fuels and auxiliary substances in accordance with the Owner's Manual and specification.
3.3 Spare parts, Husqvarna Motorcycles technical accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by
Husqvarna Motorcycles and have them installed by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop. Husq-
varna Motorcycles accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer will be glad to advise you.
The current Husqvarna Motorcycles technical 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. An incorrect suspension
setting can lead to damage and breakage of chassis components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as dusty environments, heavy rain, high heat or with a heavy
load, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the air filter, 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.
The relevant mileage or time interval is whichever occurs first.
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 instruc-
tions 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.
