Coolant maintenance is critical for your 2020 Husqvarna FE350S–it ensures optimum operating temperatures and protects your engine from overheating and corrosion. This guide delivers model-specific steps and proprietary MotoSport maintenance advice for lasting performance and reliability.
What Makes the 2020 Husqvarna FE350S Unique?
Your FE350S features a high-performance, dual-sport-ready engine, shared in design with some KTM models but with Husqvarna’s distinctive handling and ergonomics. The cooling system is robust, but regular coolant changes are essential due to the bike’s off-road capability and exposure to dirt and debris. Look for signs of coolant loss or overheating–especially after aggressive rides or extreme weather conditions.
What You’ll Need
- Coolant (ready-to-use, silicate-free, compatible with aluminum engines)
- Drain pan
- Socket wrench (10 mm preferred)
- Clean funnel
- Optional: distilled water for flushing
- Protective gloves and rags
Step-by-Step Coolant Change
- Cool the Engine
Ensure the bike is completely cool to avoid pressure or burns. Secure the bike upright on a flat surface. - Remove the Radiator Cap
Twist the radiator cap counter-clockwise to release pressure. Do this before draining to prevent vacuum formation in the system. - Drain Old Coolant
Locate the water pump cover bolt (typically at the lowest point on the right engine case, 10 mm head). Place a drain pan beneath and fully remove the bolt–allow all coolant to drain. Consider loosening the lower radiator hose for faster draining if the bike sits at an angle. - Flush for Best Results (Recommended but Optional)
Replace the bolt temporarily and fill the radiator with distilled water. Run theRelated Shopping Categories
