Cleaning The Air Filter; Checking The Adjustment Of The Hand Decompression Release Cable; Adjusting The Throttle Cables - HUSABERG Edition 2004 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER *

The air filter must be cleaned prior to every race or depending on
the accumulation of dust.
To clean, remove the seat, unscrew the wing screw and remove the
air filter together with the filter support.
CAUTION: Do not clean air filter with fuel or petroleum
since these damage the foam. Husaberg recommends the
products of the company „Motorex" for air filter mainte-
nance. (Motorex Bio Dirt Remover + Motorex Liquid Bio
Popwer)
Never operate your motorcycle without air filter.
Otherwise, dust and dirt may get into the engine and
lead to increased wear.
Thoroughly wash the air filter with special cleaning fluid and allow
to dry. Press out the water from the air filter but do not wring.
Lubricate the dry air filter with high-grade filter oil. Check the car-
buretor connection boot for damage and a good fit.
Mount the air filter on the filter support. Attach the air filter and fil-
ter support to the frame, making sure it is centered and fix with the
wing screw.
CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE HAND
DECOMPRESSION RELEASE CABLE *
Start the engine and, at idling speed, slowly pull the hand decom-
pression lever until you can feel the thumping of the rocker arm on
the lever. The backlash until said thumping should be approx.
10mm, measured at the lever's outer end. If necessary, correct this
backlash.
To adjust, move back the protective cover (1), loosen the counter
nut (2) and correct the adjustment screw (3) accordingly. Tighten
counter nut and push back protective cover.
CAUTION: The setting of the decompression cable
should be checked regulary. If there is no play in the
deko-lever, this can result in engine damage.
NOTE: No adjustment need be made to the automatic
decompressor.

ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLES *

The throttle grip should always provide for a backlash of 3-5 mm.
Besides, with the engine running, the idling speed must not
change if you turn the handlebar all the way to the left or right.
To adjust the throttle cables, dismount the seat and the tank
together with spoilers. Slide back the protection cover (4). Loosen
the counternut (5) and turn the adjusting screw bk accordingly.
Turning the adjusting screw (6) counterclockwise will reduce the
backlash, turning the adjusting screw clockwise will increase the
backlash.
Tighten the counternut and check whether the throttle grip can be
actuated smoothly. Mount tank and seat.
