M02047-10
Changing the brake linings of the front brake
Warning
Danger of accidents Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for Husqvarna motorcycles. The structure and friction
coefficient of the brake linings, and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake
linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homolo-
gation is not guaranteed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery
and the manufacturer warranty shall be void.
–
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by Husqvarna motorcycles.
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrect servicing will cause the brake system to fail.
–
Ensure that service work and repairs are performed professionally. (Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
