9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Note
Engine failure Overheating of engine.
–
If the coolant temperature warning lamp lights up, stop and switch off the engine. Allow the engine to cool down and check the
coolant level in the radiator, and top up if necessary. If you continue with the coolant temperature warning lamp alight, you may
have engine failure.
Info
If unusual noises arise during operation, stop immediately, switch off the engine, park the vehicle properly, and contact an
authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop.
–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.).
–
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch lever, and open the throttle.
Info
You can see the positions of the 6 forward gears in the figure. The neutral or
idle position is between the first and second gears.
First gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back

so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
–
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions.
Particularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
–
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in order to shift down.
–
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and
open the throttle or shift again.
–
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
