Shutdown: Turn off engine with kill switch. Turn fuel tap OFF if storing for more than a few days.

Routine Maintenance

Follow the maintenance schedule in the manual. Key intervals:

1. After every ride: Clean air filter if dusty, check chain tension and lubricate.
2. Every 10 hours: Change engine oil (transmission side), check brake pads, inspect spokes.
3. Every 30 hours: Clean carburetor, check valve clearance (power valve), replace spark plug.
4. Every 100 hours: Replace brake fluid, check wheel bearings and suspension linkage.

CAUTION! Use only genuine Husqvarna parts and recommended lubricants.

Fuel and Lubrication

Fuel: Use unleaded premium gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 95 RON. Mix with high-quality two-stroke oil in the separate oil tank (oil injection system). Do not pre-mix fuel for the TE 300.

Two-Stroke Oil: Use Husqvarna recommended two-stroke injection oil. Check oil level before each ride and refill as needed.

Transmission Oil: Use specific 4-stroke engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-50) for the gearbox. Change every 15 operating hours or as specified.

Tip: Never run the engine without two-stroke oil in the separate tank, as severe engine damage will occur.

Chassis and Suspension

Frame: Inspect for cracks or damage after hard impacts. Suspension: Adjust compression and rebound damping to suit rider weight and terrain. Refer to manual for baseline settings. Wheels and Tires: Use appropriate off-road tires for terrain. Maintain correct tire pressure (typically 12-14 PSI for off-road).

Storage and Winterization

If storing for more than 30 days:

1. Drain fuel from carburetor and tank, or add fuel stabilizer.
2. Change engine oil (transmission).
3. Remove battery and store on a tender.
4. Clean motorcycle thoroughly.
5. Inflate tires to correct pressure and store off the ground.
6. Lubricate chain and pivot points.

CAUTION! Storing with ethanol-blended fuel can damage the fuel system. Drain or stabilize.
