Back on topic....I found this:
The Swedish road network is classified according to bearing capacity and not according to road surface classification like in Finland. Therefore the GPS and the printed paper map can give you a wrong impression, even though the bearing capacity seems low or wise versa. Allroad motorcycles are very much at home in Sweden and when the road suddenly changes to gravel, the surprise is entirely positive. Due to the frost seasons, roads are repaired from time to time and during the summer especially. Even big roads can be opened for a stretch and turned to rough rubble which is again not a problem for allroad riders. Generally the gravel & dirt roads are quite well maintained and the 60/40 allroad tyres are mostly good enough for Sweden, unless you are trail riding from time to time.
The Swedish LANTMATERIET prepares printed maps and the blue map series called VĂ„GKARTAN 1:100 000 is generally accurate enough for MC -riders, but includes 79 maps of 80 cm2 each which would be a big pack of maps to carry along. You can find these maps usually from book stores, tourist offices and well equipped gas stations. In internet you can explore the Swedish digital map source in full screen size at the home pages of TRAFIKVERKET. Anyhow I would go with MC dedicated maps of 1:600 000 in a series of 5 maps or with a single map in 1:800 000, because it would give a good general view for fluent and spontaneous routing.

Just remember what you are sharing those narrow gravel tracks with
