During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
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.
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, 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 Motor-
cycles dealer will be glad to advise you.

ate, handle, and service your motorcycle. This is the only way for you to find out how to ideally tune the vehicle

3 IMPORTANT NOTES
10
3.1 Manufacturer and 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, accessories
For the safety of your child, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recom-
mended by Husqvarna Motorcycles and have them installed by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles work-
shop. Husqvarna 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 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 on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can result in sig-
nificantly increased 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.
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.
