Husqvarna 401 Vitpilen - Owner's Manual > Transport

Note

Danger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.

• Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface.

Fire hazard Hot vehicle components pose a fire hazard and explosion risk.

• Do not park the vehicle near to materials which are highly flammable or explosive.
• Allow the vehicle to cool down before covering it.

• Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Use tension belts or other suitable devices to secure the motorcycle against accidents or falling over.

Refueling

Danger

Fire hazard Fuel is highly flammable.

The fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if overfilled.

• Do not refuel the vehicle in the vicinity of open flames.
• Switch off the engine for refueling.
• Make sure that no fuel is spilled; particularly not on hot parts of the vehicle.
• If any fuel is spilled, wipe it off immediately.
• Observe the specifications for refueling.

Warning

Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.

• Avoid skin, eye and clothing contact with fuel.
• Immediately consult a doctor if you swallow fuel.
• Do not inhale fuel vapors.
• In case of skin contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water.
• Rinse the eyes thoroughly with water, and consult a doctor in case of fuel contact with the eyes.
• Change your clothing in case of fuel spills on them.

Note

Material damage Inadequate fuel quality causes the fuel filter to quickly become clogged.

In some countries and regions, the available fuel quality and cleanliness may not be sufficient. This will result in problems with the fuel system.

• Refuel only with clean fuel that meets the specified standards. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)

Note

Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.

• Do not allow fuel to enter the groundwater, the soil, or the sewage system.

• Switch off the engine.
• Open the filler cap.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel up to the plate 1.

• Close the filler cap.

Tuning the chassis

Warning

Danger of accidents Modifications to the suspension setting may seriously alter the handling characteristic.

• Ride slowly to start with after making adjustments to get the feel of the new handling characteristic.

Info

The spring preload defines the initial status of the spring operation on the shock absorber.

The best spring preload setting is achieved when it is set for the weight of the rider and that of any luggage and a passenger, thus ensuring an ideal compromise between handling and stability.

• Set the spring preload by turning adjusting ring 1 using the hook wrench and the extension from the tool set.

Guideline

Info

The spring preload can be set to 10 different positions.
