If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homologation is not guaran­
teed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery and the warranty shall be void.
-
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by Husqvarna motorcycles.
