Husqvarna TE 125 EU Service Manual (2014)

Husqvarna began a new chapter in 2013 when KTM Group acquired Husqvarna Motorcycles and reunited the marque with Husaberg, the off-road company founded by former Husqvarna engineers after the original Swedish motorcycle operation moved to Italy. Production of the new range shifted to Mattighofen, Austria, and the 2014 models became the first full competition line of this reunited era. Contemporary launch coverage described the new Austrian-built machines as combining Husaberg and KTM engineering while restoring Husqvarna’s historic identity. See Cycle News’ first ride of the 2014 Husqvarna off-road range.

The 2014 TE125 was the smallest-capacity enduro model in that range and was offered in Europe rather than the United States. Its 124.8 cm³ liquid-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke used a 54 × 54.5 mm bore and stroke, reed-valve induction and an exhaust-control system. A Keihin PWK 36S AG carburetor fed the engine, while a hydraulically operated wet multi-disc clutch and six-speed claw-shifted gearbox handled the transmission. Unlike the larger TE models of the period, the 125 relied on a kick starter, helping keep the machine simple and light for riders focused on technical enduro terrain.

The chassis reflected Husqvarna’s new Austrian competition platform. A chromium-molybdenum steel central-tube frame was paired with a WP 4860 4CS upside-down fork offering 300 mm of travel and a WP 5018 linkage shock providing 330 mm at the rear. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, 260 mm front brake, 220 mm rear brake, 1,471 mm wheelbase and 960 mm unloaded seat height gave the bike the proportions of a lightweight 125 cc two-stroke enduro motorcycle. Its linkage rear suspension also distinguished the Husqvarna configuration from KTM’s PDS-equipped enduro machines of the same period.

The TE 125 continued into subsequent model years with evolutionary updates, but the small-bore enduro eventually disappeared from Husqvarna’s regular line-up. In 2024 Husqvarna announced its return for model year 2025 as a completely redesigned machine. The revived TE 125 adopted throttle-body fuel injection, electric start, WP XACT suspension, Brembo clutch and brake systems and a map-select switch, marking a major technological break from the carbureted, kick-start 2014 generation. Husqvarna’s own announcement describes the model as a return to the enduro range rather than a direct carry-over. See Husqvarna’s 2025 TE 125 reintroduction.
