2018 Husqvarna TE 300 Overview
For 2018, Husqvarna offers the TE 300 as an enduro / off-road motorcycle with 293.2 cc on tap. The 2018 Husqvarna TE 300 is built around a Single cylinder, two-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of NA. Out on the road, the TE 300 delivers NA of peak power. In everyday use, the 2018 TE 300 tips the scales at 102.4 kg, carries a 10-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 960 mm and spans a 1482±10 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 96.4 kg lighter than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2018 Husqvarna TE 300 spec sheet below.
2018 TE 300 - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Capable power output: NA of peak output puts the TE 300 in good company among its rivals.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: A 960 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: A 10-litre tank keeps things light but means budgeting for more frequent fuel stops on any longer ride.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC)-equipped engines like the TE 300's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
Single 260mm disc up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by WP Suspension Up Side Down 4CS up front and WP Monoshock with linkage at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the TE 300 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Frame & chassis check
The Central tube frame made of chrome molybdenum steel tubing chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Low-speed handling
The TE 300's 102.4 kg kerb weight makes low-speed control noticeably less effort than on a heavier machine.
TE 300 - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2018 Husqvarna TE 300 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept TE 300 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a TE 300's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Carburetor upkeep
A TE 300 that's sat unused is almost always a carb-cleaning job before it runs right again - float bowls and pilot jets first, since they clog before anything else.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a TE 300's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
