Husqvarna TE 300: a two-stroke enduro motorcycle, what to know when buying
Husqvarna TE 300 — a two-stroke enduro motorcycle loved for tackling tough trails. We look at the generations, tech, and what to check when buying used.
TE 300 in brief
The TE 300 is a two-stroke 300 cm³ enduro motorcycle known for its high torque at low revs and light weight. It excels on challenging terrain where even power delivery is crucial.
This model is suited to experienced riders who appreciate the simplicity and robustness of two-strokes.
Generations
Since 2014, Husqvarna has been part of the KTM group, and later TE 300 models benefit from the group's two-stroke technology. Later came the TE 300i version with electronic fuel injection (TPI), which doesn't require mixing oil with fuel.
You'll find older TE 300 models with carburetors on the used market, so when buying, make sure to check which specific version you're considering.
Engine and gearbox
It uses a single-cylinder 300 cm³ two-stroke engine with electric start. Power is ample for tough trails, and the engine is known for its responsiveness and ease of use.
The gearbox is manual. In the carburettor version, oil is mixed with fuel according to the manufacturer's instructions; in the TE 300i version, oil is supplied separately.
What to check when buying a used TE 300
Two-stroke engines require regular maintenance — ask about when the piston and cylinder were last replaced, what oil was used, and how often the air filter was changed.
Check the frame, suspension, wheel bearings, brakes, and plastics. Look for signs of damage or broken fasteners.
If the motorcycle is registered in multiple countries, check the documents, lights, and other mandatory equipment.
