Transmission:
Disassembly, assembly, maintenance, troubleshooting of the gearbox and clutch.
Electrical System:
Wiring diagrams, troubleshooting of lighting, ignition, starting system, charging system, sensors, and ECU.
Chassis And Suspension:
Front forks (e.g., Marzocchi or Sachs), rear shock absorber (e.g., Sachs), swingarm, linkage, steering system, wheel bearings.
Brakes:
Front and rear brake systems (hydraulic disc brakes), caliper overhauls, master cylinder maintenance, fluid bleeding, pad replacement.
Fuel System:
Fuel tank, fuel pump (if EFI), fuel lines, carburetor maintenance (if applicable, e.g., Keihin FCR or similar), jetting, idle speed adjustment.
Exhaust System:
Exhaust pipe, muffler inspection, maintenance, and common repair procedures.
Bodywork:
Fairings, seat, fenders, plastics, and associated hardware removal and installation.
Routine Maintenance:
Oil changes, filter replacements (oil, air), chain adjustment and lubrication, spark plug service, coolant checks.
Component Removal Installation:
Step-by-step guides for removing and installing all major and minor components.
Disassembly Assembly:
Detailed instructions for taking apart and rebuilding engines, transmissions, and other complex assemblies.
Troubleshooting:
Diagnostic procedures for identifying and resolving common and uncommon problems across all vehicle systems.
Tune Ups:
Carburetor adjustment, ignition timing (if applicable), valve clearance checks and adjustments.
Depth:
Comprehensive, covering everything from basic maintenance and adjustments to full engine and transmission rebuilds, electrical diagnostics, and chassis overhauls.
Engine Type:
Single-cylinder, four-stroke. Likely based on Husqvarna's LC4 platform.
Displacement:
Approximately 302cc (actual displacement may vary slightly based on exact internal specifications).
Bore X Stroke:
Specifics require manual confirmation, but typically around 72mm x 75mm or similar for a 300cc class engine.
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled
Valvetrain:
DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft), 4 valves
Horsepower Estimate:
Estimated 30-35 HP (exact figures depend on tuning and market specifications).
Torque Estimate:
Estimated 20-23 lb-ft (exact figures depend on tuning and market specifications).
Fuel Delivery:
Likely carbureted for 2011-2012, often a Keihin FCR 39mm or similar high-performance carburetor. EFI variants may exist but are less common for this specific model designation in these years.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, minimum 90 octane recommended.
Safety Ratings:
N/A (Motorcycle specific safety is determined by rider skill and adherence to safe riding practices, not standardized crash ratings like cars).
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear for strong stopping power.
Lighting:
Headlight, taillight, brake light (for street legality).
Frame Construction:
Robust steel frame designed for off-road stresses.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15-20 hours of riding or annually, whichever comes first. Consult manual for exact recommendation.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Frequent checks and cleaning, especially in dusty conditions. Recommended every 5-10 hours of riding.
Valve Clearance Check:
Recommended every 30-50 hours of riding or annually. Critical for engine longevity.
Engine Oil Type:
High-quality motorcycle-specific 4-stroke engine oil, typically SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50, JASO MA/MA2 rated.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Around 1.1-1.3 liters (consult manual for precise capacity with and without filter change).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio), capable of -34°C (-29°F) protection.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Clutch Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic fluid (if hydraulic clutch).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, wheel bearings, steering head bearings, chain and sprockets, fork seals, brake pads.
Potential Reliability Points:
While generally robust, like many performance off-road bikes, consistent maintenance is key. Issues can arise from neglected maintenance or excessive hard use without proper care. Specific electrical connector corrosion or fuel system issues can occur if not maintained.
Importance Of Torque:
Crucial for ensuring proper sealing, preventing component damage, and maintaining safety. The manual will provide specific torque values for critical fasteners (e.g., cylinder head bolts, crankcase bolts, suspension components).
Heritage:
Husqvarna Motorcycles, founded in Sweden in 1903, has a long and distinguished history in off-road and motocross racing, known for innovation and performance.
Model Lineage:
The TXC series represents Husqvarna's line of cross-country competition motorcycles, bridging the gap between motocross and enduro bikes.
Manufacturing Location:
Historically Italy (under the ownership of Cagiva Group/MV Agusta) during the 2000s and early 2010s.
