Braking

Warning
Danger of accidents Moisture and dirt impair the brake system.
–
Brake carefully several times to dry out and remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
Danger of accidents A spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency.
–
Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
–
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in
order to shift down.
–
Pull 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 an intersection), just pull the clutch
lever and press the start button. The transmission must not
be shifted into neutral.
–
Switch off the engine if you are likely to be running at idle
speed or stationary for a long time.
–
Avoid frequent and lengthy slipping of the clutch. This causes
the engine oil, engine and cooling system to heat up.
–
Ride at a low engine speed instead of at a high engine speed
with a slipping clutch.
–
If the malfunction indicator lamp lights up during a trip,
please contact an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles
workshop as soon as possible.
–
Easy Shift allows you to shift up in the speed range shown
