    This may be a simple question, but I don't have my manual yet from Husqvarna to answer this one, so I'm looking to the experts! I'm going to replace the hoses on my 2009 TE 310 but not sure where to drain the coolant from. I know I can just pull a hose or something, but.... I see 2 bolts on either side of the cylinder, both with copper washers under neath, one appears to be an 8mm (throttle side), the other an allen headed bolt (clutch side). Are these both drain bolts or? Is there a bleeder bolt somewhere to bleed off the head, or better yet, what's the proper procedure to bleed the system for this motor? Coming from the land of Orange here so I'm still figuring this baby out! Thanks

    Place a vessel on the R.H. side of the cylinder, under the coolant drain screw.

    First remove the drain screw, the SLOWLY open the RH radiator cap, slope the motorcycle to the right side to drain the coolant easily into the vessel. Re-assemble the screw.

    Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the radiator, then warm up the engine to eliminate any possible air bubble.

    So there isn't a bleeder screw hiding somewhere on the head to bleed off any trapped air in the cylinder?

    Doesn't mention it in the owner's manual (mine's a TE 250, 2008)

    That allen head is higher up on the cylinder and appears to have something to do with the cam. When you see it referred to in the engine manual it says "remove the fastenening screw and the chain slider".

    Good to know! Helps to have the manual. Called the Husqvarna customer service hotline and they're suppose to be putting a rush on one. Seeing as how I've had the bike for a month now, seems the least they could do! Frustrating.
