Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Engine:
|
Refer to manual for specific hours/miles, typically every 10-15 hours of riding for off-road use.
|
Air Filter Cleaning:
|
Clean or replace after every few rides, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
|
Spark Plug Check:
|
Check and clean/gap at regular intervals, replace as needed (e.g., every 20-30 hours).
|
Chain Adjustment:
|
Check and adjust tension before every ride and periodically.
|
Top End Rebuild:
|
Piston and ring replacement typically recommended every 50-100 hours of hard use, depending on riding style and maintenance.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil:
|
Premix 2-stroke oil, specific brands and grades recommended in the manual (e.g., JASO FD certified).
|
Transmission Oil:
|
Specific gear oil, e.g., SAE 75W/80 or 75W/90 GL-4 (check manual for exact specification and part number, e.g., Husqvarna OEM or equivalent).
|
Coolant:
|
Mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (50/50 mix is standard).
|
Fork Oil:
|
Specific viscosity and volume as per manual (e.g., WP 7.5W or Marzocchi SAE 15W).
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Clutch plates, piston rings, crank bearings, suspension seals, wheel bearings, steering head bearings are common wear items on high-performance off-road bikes.
|
Carburetor Fouling:
|
Can occur if the correct fuel/oil mixture is not used or if the bike sits for extended periods.
|
Suspension Leaks:
|
Fork seals and rear shock seals can degrade over time with heavy use.
