    Hola!

    I am planning for a round the world trip from Austin TX to Ushuaia, Argentina starting in October. I I bought my Terra last September and have loved every moment of riding on this bike. So far its been very easy to maintain and hasn't had any issues whatsoever, but does feel like it runs hot at times.

    As a newb to Husqvarna, rotax engines, and even fuel injected bikes - does anyone have any advice on how to keep this bike in tip-top shape while on the road?

    Much appreciation in advance!

    A lot of these Huskys have air pockets in the coolant hoses. It's a well documented issue and a search will show how to burp it. Good luck on your trip.

    Pay good attention to fuel and fuel quality. Use only the best, and pre filter if need be.

    Take lots of pictures or it didn't happen :)

    I'm new to this bike as of 3 weeks ago. I don't have much advice, but following this thread out of interest. What does your route look like? What tools and spares do you plan to bring? How are you crossing the Darien Gap? Under what conditions does your bike run hot?
