Regular coolant maintenance is essential for the performance and longevity of your 2013 Husqvarna TXC310. Keeping your cooling system in top condition prevents overheating, ensures efficient engine operation, and helps you avoid costly repairs. The following step-by-step guide is designed specifically for MotoSport customers and covers the nuances unique to the TXC310.

Essential Tools & Precautions

  • Genuine Husqvarna-approved coolant or equivalent, pre-mixed or mixed to a 50/50 ratio with distilled water
  • Drain pan or vessel
  • Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
  • Socket set and ratchet
  • Protective gloves and eye protection
  • Clean rags

TXC310-Specific Notes

  • This model features dual radiators with the coolant level checked in the right-hand radiator.
  • Inspect hoses for cracks, swelling, or hardening–replace any that show wear to prevent coolant leaks or engine issues.
  • Always use genuine or recommended lubricants and parts to maintain performance and reliability.

Step-by-Step Coolant Change Instructions

  1. Allow the motorcycle to cool completely.
    Changing coolant on a warm engine is dangerous and may cause burns.
  2. Position the motorcycle upright.
    Keep the TXC310 perpendicular to the ground to ensure full drainage.
  3. Locate the drain point.
    Place a drain pan on the left side under the lower radiator hose connection point, which is situated on the left-hand side of the cylinder.
  4. Loosen the hose clamp and detach the lower hose.
    Using your screwdriver, carefully loosen the clamp and remove the hose to allow coolant to begin draining.
  5. Open the right-hand radiator cap slowly.
    The TXC310 cap has two locking positions–open to the first position to safely discharge system pressure, then continue to fully remove the cap for complete drain.
    Lean the bike slightly to the left for maximum drainage.
  6. Inspect coolant and hoses.
    Check for any signs of debris or contamination. Now is the time to thoroughly inspect all hoses and replace any that appear damaged.
  7. Refit hose and tighten clamp.
    Once the system is drained, securely reinstall the hose and clamp.
  8. Refill with fresh coolant.
    Pour coolant into the right-hand radiator until the level is approximately 0.39 inches (10 mm) above the cells.
  9. Eliminate air bubbles.
    Start the engine and let it run with the cap off. Occasionally rev the engine and gently rock the bike to help burp air as the coolant circulates.
    Once you see the coolant level rising and air escaping, top up as needed and reinstall the radiator cap.
  10. Check for leaks and recheck the coolant level.
    Allow the bike to heat completely, then cool down. Recheck the level in the radiator and the overflow reservoir. Top off if necessary.

Maintenance Tips for the Husqvarna TXC310

  • Periodically check all connecting hoses and clamps for tightness and wear.
  • If you experience regularly dropping coolant levels, inspect thoroughly for leaks or system issues.
  • Dispose of old coolant responsibly–never pour it down the drain or onto the ground.
  • Follow the recommended coolant change interval in your service manual for best performance.
  • Use only distilled water when mixing coolant to avoid mineral buildup and radiator clogging.
