[. . . ] Your owner's manual contains instructions for owner care and maintenance. The information concerning details or main work of repair or maintenance are described in the Husqvarna Service Manual. This manual is available upon request by stating the code number set on pages 262, 264, 266. Work of this kind requires the attention of a skilled mechanic and the use of special tools and equipment. [. . . ] SANDY GROUND Fork: have a harder compression adjustment, or replace the standard spring with a harder one, and make a softer compression adjustment and a harder extension adjustment at the same time. shock absorber: have a harder compression , and expecially a harder extension adjustment. Work on the spring preload to lower the motorcycle rear side. We advise replacing the springs of both suspensions to compensate the weight increase due to the piling of the mud. NOTE: When the fork results as either too soft or too hard for any adjustment conditions, check the oil level inside the forkrod. The level can either be too low or too high. Remember that too much oil inside the fork will involve a more frequent air drainage. When the suspensions do not react to the changes of calibration, check that the adjusting units are not blocked. The standard calibrations and the adjustment procedures are shown on the next pages. The springs available upon request, together with the preload spacers, are shown on pages . Remove plug (B) and turn register (A) clockwise until the position of fully closed is reached then, turn back by the mentioned clicks. SHOCK ABSORBER DAMPING ADJUSTMENT (BEFORE the following operation, please see the IMPORTANT NOTICE 2) on page 12 Adjustment of the compression stroke is independent from the rebound stroke. A) COMPRESSION - Standard calibration: 1) Low damping speed: G TE-TC: -15 clicks (± 2 clicks) G SMR: -5 clicks (± 2 clicks ) (register 4) 2) High damping speed: G TC 250- 450- 510: -15 clicks (± 2 clicks) G TE 250- 450- 510: -12 clicks (± 2 clicks) G SMR 400- 450- 510: -15 clicks (± 2 clicks) (register 6) To reset the standard calibration, turn upper registers (4) and (6) clockwise until reaching fully closed position. Return then back for the mentioned clicks. In order to obtain a smooth braking action, turn the registers anticlockwise. reverse the operation in order to obtain a harder braking action. B) EXTENSION - Standard calibration: G TC 250- 450- 510: - 25 clicks (± 2 clicks) G TE 250-450- 510: -16 clicks (± 2 clicks) G SMR 400- 450- 510: -16 clicks (± 2 clicks) To reset the standard calibration, turn lower register (5) clockwise until reaching fully closed position. Return then back for the mentioned clicks. In order to obtain a smooth braking action, turn the register anticlockwise. CHAIN ADJUSTMENT Chain should be checked, adjusted and lubricated as per the Maintenance Chart to ensure security and prevent excessive wear. , if it is too loose or too taught), it could escape from sprocket or break. To adjust the rear chain it is necessary to lower the rear part of motorcycle so to line up the drive sprocket axle, the rear swing arm axle and the rear wheel axle as shown on drawing. [. . . ] G Clutch and brake levers, hand grips, engine stop button: - Cover with plastic bags. G Air cleaner intake: - Close up the opening with tape, or stuff in rags. 2) Where to be careful Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: G Air cleaner G Under the fuel tank: If water gets into the ignition coil or into the spark plug cap, the spark will jump through the water and be grounded out. When this happens, the motorcycle will not start and the affected parts must be wiped dry. [. . . ]
