Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear for strong stopping power.
Suspension System:
Advanced adjustable suspension (e.g., Marzocchi forks, Sachs rear shock) to maintain control over varied terrain.
Frame Construction:
Robust chassis designed for off-road durability and rider feedback.
Infotainment System:
N/A (Focus on performance and off-road capability, not infotainment).
Assistance Features:
N/A (No electronic rider aids like ABS or traction control typical for this era's pure off-road/competition bikes).
Connectivity Features:
N/A (No Bluetooth or smartphone integration).
ECU Capabilities:
ECU manages fuel injection and ignition timing. Manual provides diagnostic information for ECU and sensor related issues.
Oil Change Interval:
Specific intervals detailed in manual, typically frequent for off-road use (e.g., every 10-20 operating hours).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Frequent cleaning required, interval dependent on riding conditions, detailed in manual.
Valve Clearance Check:
Specific intervals outlined in manual (e.g., every 20-30 operating hours).
Engine Oil Type:
Full synthetic motorcycle oil, viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-50 or 10W-40) as specified in manual.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Specific capacity available in manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, specific mixture ratio detailed in manual.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Transmission Oil Type:
Specific transmission fluid or engine oil grade as per manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, chain and sprockets, brake pads, fork seals, air filter, spark plug, coolant hoses are common wear items for this type of motorcycle.
Potential Issues:
As with many performance off-road bikes, proper maintenance is critical. Overheating, clutch wear, and suspension seal issues can occur with neglect or aggressive use. Specific known issues for the 2010 TXC510 model can be researched further, but the manual is the definitive source for addressing them.
Brand Origin:
Husqvarna Motorcycles is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers, originating in Sweden in 1903, now owned by KTM.
Model Lineage:
The TXC series represents Husqvarna's efforts in the dual-sport and off-road competition market, building on a long history of motocross and enduro bike development.
Manufacturing Location:
Historically Sweden, but for the 2010 model year, production was primarily under the BMW Motorrad ownership, likely in Italy or Sweden.
Industry Awards:
Specific awards for the 2010 TXC510 are not readily available in product descriptions, but Husqvarna motorcycles are generally well-regarded in the off-road community for their performance and handling.
Performance Ratings:
User reviews and specialist publications would be the primary source for performance ratings.
Emissions Certification:
Likely meets relevant emissions standards for its intended market (off-road/competition, or street-legal variants may have different certifications).
