Bleeding The Cooling System; Adjusting The Throttle Cable - HUSABERG FE 450 Repair Manual

DISMOUNTING AND MOUNTING THE ENGINE

BLEEDING THE COOLING SYSTEM

– Add cooling liquid until it reaches approx. 10 mm over
the radiator fins.
– Open the bleeder bolt (1) on the cylinder head until
cooling liquid escapes without bubbles, tighten the
bleeder bolt again to 6 Nm.
Check the cooling liquid level again after another short
ride and correct if necessary.
CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE
HAND DECOMPRESSION CABLE
– Start the engine and
decompression lever at idling speed until you feel the
thumping of the rocker arm on the lever. The free
travel until you feel the thumping should be approx.
10 mm measured at the outer end of the lever. Correct
the free travel if necessary.
– To adjust, push back the protection cover (2), loosen
the counternut (3) and adjust the adjustment screw (4)
as required. Tighten the counternut and slide the
protection cover into place.
CAUTION: no free travel in the decompression
lever will lead to engine damage.
ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLES
NOTE: The throttle grip should always have 3-5
mm free travel. In addition, the idling speed
should not change with the engine running if
the handlebar is turned all the way to the left
or right.
– To adjust the throttle cables, remove the seat and tank
with the spoilers. Push back the protection cover (5),
loosen the counternut (6) and adjust the adjusting
screw (7) as required. Turning the adjusting crew in a
counterclockwise direction will reduce the free travel,
turning it in a clockwise direction will increase the free
travel.
– Tighten the counternut and check the throttle grip for
smooth operation.
– Mount the tank and the seat.
