PREPARING FOR USE

8.1

Advice on first use

Danger
Danger of accidents A rider who is not fit to ride poses a danger to him or herself and others.
–
Do not operate the vehicle if you are not fit to ride due to alcohol, drugs or medication.
–
Do not operate the vehicle if you are physically or mentally impaired.
Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–
Wear appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as trousers and a jacket with protectors on all
rides.
–
Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations.
Warning
Danger of crashing Different tire tread patterns on the front and rear wheel impair the handling characteristic.
Different tire tread patterns can make the vehicle significantly more difficult to control.
–
Make sure that only tires with a similar tire tread pattern are fitted to the front and rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling characteristic.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motorcycles with the corresponding speed index.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
