Shop parts for a 2013 Husqvarna TE310 Dirt Bike.

Routine coolant changes are essential for keeping your 2013 Husqvarna TE310’s engine running cool and preventing internal damage. The TE310 uses a liquid cooling system designed for high performance, but this means fresh coolant and tight maintenance are critical—especially since aging hoses or weak clamps can lead to leaks or overheating.

Below you’ll find MotoSport’s robust, step-by-step guide to changing the coolant on your TE310. All instructions are tailored specifically for this model–please note nuances that are unique to the TE310.

What You’ll Need

  • Fresh coolant (refer to your manual for recommended type and capacity)
  • Basic hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, socket set)
  • A clean drain pan or vessel
  • Protective gloves & safety glasses
  • Rags for spills

Step 1: Preparation

  • Ensure the engine is cool before starting—opening the radiator cap on a hot engine can cause severe burns.
  • Stand the bike upright on a stable stand for best access and safe draining.

Step 2: Drain the Old Coolant

  • Locate the lower radiator hose on the left-hand (L.H.) side of the cylinder. Position your drain pan directly underneath the hose connection to the engine.
  • Loosen the hose clamp with a screwdriver or appropriate tool.
  • Gently detach the hose from the engine. Coolant will start to drain out—this may take several minutes.
  • Slowly open the right-hand radiator cap to allow air in and speed up draining. Lean the motorcycle slightly to the left to ensure all coolant exits the system.

Step 3: Inspect and Reinstall

  • Check all hoses for signs of cracking, swelling, or hardening. The TE310 is known for tight hose routing; any sign of brittle hoses due to heat or age should be addressed right away. Replace clamps if they show rust or lose tension.
  • Reattach the hose to the engine and tighten the clamp securely.

Step 4: Fill with Fresh Coolant

  • Pour the recommended amount of fresh coolant into the radiator through the filler neck. Use a funnel to avoid spills.
  • Allow air bubbles to escape as you pour. Fill until the level is just below the bottom of the filler neck.

Step 5: Bleed the System and Check for Leaks

  • Start the engine and let it idle. This helps circulate coolant and release trapped air bubbles.
  • After a few minutes, stop the engine and recheck the coolant level; top off as needed.
  • Inspect around hose connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten clamps if necessary.
  • After a brief ride, let the bike cool and check coolant level again.

Model-Specific Notes for the 2013 TE310

  • The TE310's cooling fan can activate even with the ignition OFF. Always stay clear of fan blades when working near the radiator, as accidental spin-up is possible.
  • Replace any hoses showing signs of aging, as a burst hose under load can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
  • The cooling system capacity and specific coolant type are listed in your owner's manual. Overfilling can promote leaks onto the engine case, so do not exceed the fill line.
  • Keep an eye on the clamps after the first ride post-change; vibration can cause them to settle, requiring a recheck of tightness.

Routine coolant maintenance is essential on high-performance dirt bikes like the TE310. Always dispose of used coolant responsibly. For hoses, radiators, or other cooling system components, MotoSport stocks genuine and high-performance upgrade options to keep your Husqvarna running strong.
