Changing the coolant in your 2020 Husqvarna TE150i is a crucial maintenance step for protecting your engine and ensuring top performance, particularly if you ride in tough conditions. This step-by-step guide, brought to you by MotoSport, makes the process clear and approachable for all riders.
Why Coolant Change Matters on the TE150i
The 2020 TE150i features Husqvarna's advanced fuel injection and a revised frame with a 4 mm larger center tube flowing coolant more efficiently for consistent engine temperature. Changing the coolant regularly will help prevent corrosion inside the cooling system and maintain robust performance, especially important for the high-revving two-stroke powerplant and the TE150i's lightweight engine design.–
What You Need
- New coolant formulated for off-road two-strokes (check your owner's manual for specifications)
- Drain pan
- Ratchet and proper socket (typically 8 mm or 10 mm for drain bolt)
- Funnel
- Clean rags
- Torque wrench (recommended)
- Replacement washer for drain bolt (recommended)
Step-by-Step: Changing Coolant on the 2020 TE150i
-
Let the bike cool:
Ensure your TE150i is cool to the touch before starting. Hot coolant can cause burns. Place the bike upright on a stand or level surface. -
Locate and loosen the drain bolt:
Find the coolant drain bolt under the water pump. Position a drain pan below. Loosen the boltbut do not remove it yet. -
Remove the radiator cap:
After loosening the drain bolt, remove the radiator cap. This will allow coolant to flow out rapidly.– -
Drain the coolant:
Remove the drain bolt completely. Let all coolant flow into the pan. Tilting the bike side to side gently can help ensure a complete drain. -
Check hoses and inspect:
While the system is empty, inspect radiator hoses for splits, cracks, or leaks. Remove any build-up or debris around connections. -
Flush if needed:
For added lifespan and purity, you can flush the system with distilled water. Pour through the radiator cap opening, drain, and repeat until clear.– -
Reinstall the drain bolt:
Install a fresh washer on the drain bolt, and tighten it securelyuse a torque wrench if possible to factory spec. This helps avoid leaks.– -
Fill with new coolant:
Using a funnel, fill the radiator slowly with recommended coolant. Fill to just below the neck. -
Bleed the system:
Gently squeeze hoses to help remove any trapped air that could form bubbles or hot spots in your cooling system. -
Reinstall radiator cap & check for leaks:
Replace the radiator cap. Start the bike briefly and let it idle; watch for leaks and top off coolant if the level drops after the bike cools down again.
Tips – 2020 TE150i Model Notes
- The 2020 model's improved coolant flow helps keep engine temps stable under load—keep hoses and the radiator clear of mud and debris for optimal cooling–.
- Use only compatible, high-quality coolant to avoid early corrosion or deposits, especially with the TE150i's lightweight aluminum components.
- Always double-check coolant level after your first ride post-change; trapped air can sometimes settle out during initial operation.
Your 2020 Husqvarna TE150i is engineered for performance and reliability—sticking to a regular coolant maintenance schedule will keep it running cooler, longer, and stronger, no matter the terrain.
