The degree of compression can be adjusted with adjus- ting screws at the bottom of the fork legs.Remove the protecting cap (1). Turn the adjusting screws (2) clockwise to increase damping, turn it coun- terclockwise to reduce damping during compression.
  • Page 18: Damping Action During Compression Of Shock Absorber

    OPERATION INSTRUMENTS DAMPING ACTION DURING COMPRESSION OF SHOCK ABSORBER The shock absorber can synchronize the compression damping in the low and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control). Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.

    RIDERS WEIGHT INCLUSIVE GEARS IN KILOGRAM telescopic fork is embossed on the caps on the top of the telescopic fork. If you are uncertain which spring to use, contact your Husaberg workshop. According to our experience, the damping rate of the compression stage can remain unchanged.
  • Page 33: Changing The Fork Offset (Caster) (Fs)

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHANGING THE FORK OFFSET (CASTER) (FS) * The fork offset (A) in the FS models (center fork legs - center steering head angle) can be set to either 16 or 18 mm. This allows you to optimize the handling to match the race course.
  • Page 34 MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Remove the collar screw from the lower triple clamp and pull out the stee- ring stem. Thoroughly clean all parts. Turn the steering stem 180° and insert it in the triple clamp, tighten the collar screw all the way to the stop. WARNING:A plastic insert in the collar screw thread makes the collar screw self-locking.

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE HOW TO CHANGE THE HANDLEBAR POSITION The handlebar position can be readjusted by 22 mm. Thus, you can put the handlebar in the position that is the most convenient for you. The upper triple clamp (1) includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0.6 in) from one another.
  • Page 36: Check Chain Tension

    WARNING: If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a Husaberg dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle.
  • Page 37: Chain Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHAIN MAINTENANCE For a long chain life, good maintenance is very important. Chains without X-rings should be cleaned in fireproof solvent regularly and afterwards treated with hot grease or chain spray (e.g. Motorex Chainlube 622). X-ring chains on the other hand are very simple to clean.
  • Page 38: General Information About Husaberg Disc Brakes

    BRAKE FLUID: Husaberg fills the brake systems with Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5.1 brake fluid, one of the best brake currently available. We recommend that you continue to use it. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether and of an amber color.
  • Page 39: Changing The Basic Position The Hand Brake Lever (Fc, Fe)

    WARNING: If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are com- pletely worn. In this case, consult an authorized Husaberg dealer immediately. REFILLING THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR * Loosen screws (4) and remove lid (5) and membrane (6).
  • Page 40: Checking The Front Brake Pads

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE WARNING: Brake fluid can cause skin irritation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If you get brake fluid in your eyes, rinse 5 mm with plenty of water and consult a doctor CAUTION: Don’t let brake fluid get in contact with paint, it is an effective paint remover.
  • Page 41: Changing The Basic Position Of The Foot Brake Pedal

    WARNING: If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are com- pletely worn. In this case, consult an authorized Husaberg dealer immediately. REFILLING THE REAR BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR * When the brake fluid level has dropped to the MIN mark, you need to refill the brake fluid reservoir.
  • Page 42: Checking The Rear Brake Pads

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE PADS The brake pads can be inspected from the rear. The thickness of the linings may not be less than 1 mm (0.04 in). WARNING: At their most worn point brake pad linings should min.
  • Page 43: Dismounting And Mounting The Front Wheel

    WARNING: If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a Husaberg dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle.
  • Page 44: Dismounting And Mounting The Rear Wheel

    WARNING: If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a Husaberg dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle.
  • Page 45: Checking The Shock Absorption Rubbers In The Rear Hub

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHECKING THE SHOCK ABSORPTION RUBBERS IN THE REAR HUB* The FS models have a damped rear wheel hub. For this purpose, the engine power is conveyed from the rear sprocket via 6 shock absorption rubbers (1) to the rear wheel.
  • Page 46: Tires-Air Pressure

    WARNING: Do not mount tires which have not been appro- ved by Husaberg. Other tires could have adverse effects on the way your motorcycle behaves. Front and rear wheels may only be fitted with tires having the TIRES-AIR PRESSURE same tread layout.
  • Page 47: Battery

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE BATTERY The battery (1) is located in front of the shock absorber and is mainte- nance-free. It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level or to add water. Merely keep the battery poles clean and grease slightly with acid-free grease if required.
  • Page 48: Fuse (Fe/Fs)

    Replace a blown fuse only with an equivalent one. If a new fuse that has just been installed gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it inspected by a Husaberg dealer. The fuse capacity is 10 Ampere. CAUTION: Under no circumstances is a stronger fuse allo- wed to be installed or a fuse allowed to be “repaired”.
  • Page 49: Cooling System

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM Coolant is circulated by a water pump (1) located in the engine. Air blowing in through the radiators cools the coolant. The slower the speed of the motorcycle, the less the coolant is cooled down. Dirty radiators also reduce the cooling efficiency.
  • Page 50: Bleeding The Cooling System

    NOTE: In every exhaust repair procedure, the O-rings must be replaced by new ones. Glass fiber yarn packings are avai- lable from your licensed Husaberg mechanic. WARNING: The exhaust system becomes very hot while the motorcycle is running. to avoid burns do not start work on the exhaust system until it has properly cooled down.
  • Page 51: Cleaning The Air Filter

    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 maintenance. (Motorex Bio Dirt Remover + Motorex Liquid Bio Power) Never operate your motorcycle without air filter.

    SAE 10 (e.g. Motorex Kupplungs-Fluid 75). Biodegradable hydraulic oil is available from your Husaberg dealer (50ml). CAUTION: Husaberg uses biodegradable hydraulic oil for the hydraulic clutch control.
  • Page 53: Carburetor - Adjust Idling

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CARBURETOR – ADJUST IDLING * Idling adjustment of the carburetor strongly affects the engine’s starting behavior. That is, an engine whose idling speed is adjusted correctly will be easier to start than one whose idling speed has not been adjusted correctly.
  • Page 54: Checking The Float Level (Float Height)

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHECKING THE FLOAT LEVEL (FLOAT HEIGHT) * For this purpose, dismount the carburetor and remove the float chamber. Hold the carburetor in a slanted position such that the float will abut the float needle valve but not compress it. In this position, the edge of the float should be parallel with the float cham- ber sealing surface (see illustration).
  • Page 55: Checking The Engine Oil Level

    0°C Only use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the JASO MA quality requi- 32°F rements (see information on the can). Husaberg recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for temperatures over 0°C, 32°F) 5W/40 10W/50 or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C, 32°F).
  • Page 56: Changing The Oil Filter

    MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE CHANGING THE OIL FILTER Place a suitable vessel under the engine to allow the oil to drain.
