Weekly/Monthly Checks: Air filter cleanliness, suspension settings, spoke tension, wheel bearing play, steering head bearing play, exhaust system mounts.

Tip: Keep a maintenance log to track service intervals and inspections.

Starting and Operating

Starting procedure for cold and warm engines.

Cold Start: Turn fuel tap to ON. Pull choke knob (if equipped). Do not touch throttle. Press start button until engine fires.
Warm Start: No choke needed. May require slight throttle opening when pressing start button.
Riding: Allow engine to warm up for 1-2 minutes. Select first gear, release clutch smoothly while applying throttle.
Stopping: Close throttle, apply brakes, pull clutch, shift to neutral, turn off engine with stop switch.

WARNING! Always start in neutral with clutch pulled in. Keep feet on footpegs when moving.

Basic Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Service	Interval	Action
Engine Oil Change	Every 40 hours	Drain and refill with recommended transmission oil
Oil Filter	Every 80 hours	Replace oil filter with genuine part
Air Filter	Every 15-20 hours	Clean and re-oil foam filter
Spark Plug	Every 50 hours	Check gap, clean, or replace
Coolant	Every 100 hours	Drain, flush, refill with recommended coolant
Chain Adjustment	Every 10 hours	Adjust to 55-60mm free play
Brake Pads	As needed	Replace when worn to minimum thickness

Fuel and Lubrication

The TE 150 uses a TPI system that automatically injects oil into the fuel.

Fuel: Use premium unleaded gasoline with minimum 95 RON. Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol.
2-Stroke Oil: Use only Husqvarna recommended 2-stroke injection oil in the separate oil tank.
Transmission Oil: Use recommended 10W-50 4-stroke engine oil in the gearbox. Capacity: 0.7 liters.
Coolant: Use ethylene glycol based coolant mixed 50:50 with distilled water.

CAUTION! Never mix fuel and oil in the fuel tank. The TPI system handles oil injection automatically.

Chassis and Suspension

Adjusting suspension for rider weight and terrain.

Front Fork: Adjust compression (top of left fork leg) and rebound (bottom of right fork leg). Pre-load adjustable with spacers.

Rear Shock: Adjust spring pre-load, high/low speed compression, and rebound damping.

Baseline Settings: For 75kg rider on technical terrain: Fork - compression 15 clicks out, rebound 20 clicks out; Shock - sag 105mm, compression 15 clicks, rebound 20 clicks.

Tip: Make small adjustments (2-3 clicks) and test ride. Document your preferred settings.

Storage and Winterization

Proper storage prevents damage during extended non-use.

Fuel System: Add fuel stabilizer to tank, run engine for 5 minutes, or drain fuel completely.
Battery: Remove battery, clean terminals, charge fully, store in cool dry place.
Engine: Change oil before storage. Remove spark plug, add teaspoon of oil, crank engine, reinstall plug.
Tires: Inflate to maximum pressure, lift motorcycle off ground if storing more than 3 months.
Cleaning: Wash thoroughly, dry completely, apply protectant to plastics and metal surfaces.

WARNING! Store in dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Engine won't start	Fuel tap off, dead battery, flooded	Check fuel, charge battery, hold throttle wide open while cranking
Poor performance	Clogged air filter, old spark plug	Clean air filter, replace spark plug
Overheating	Low coolant, clogged radiator	Check coolant level, clean radiator fins
Hard shifting	Old transmission oil, bent shift lever	Change oil, inspect shift mechanism
