Use definition
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles com-
ply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.
Info
The motorcycle must be used only on secluded property remote from public road traffic.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described
in the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and break-
age of components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components such as
the transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in
the greasing and service table is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
Warranty
The maintenance work prescribed in the greasing and service table must be carried out in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed
in the customer's service record, since otherwise no warranty claims will be recognized. No warranty claims can be considered for
damage resulting from manipulations and alterations to the motorcycle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, use only spare parts and accessories approved by KTM. KTM accepts no liability for other products and any re-
sulting damage or loss.
Transport
Note
Danger of damageಗDanger of damage by the vehicle running away or falling over.
ಥ
Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.
Note

ಥ
ಥ
ಥ
switch off engine.
Turn the handleꢀ of the fuel tap to theOFF position.
Use straps or other suitable devices to secure the motorcycle against accidents or falling over.
Environment
Offroad motorcycling is a wonderful sport and we naturally hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the fullest. However, it is a poten-
tial problem for the environment and can lead to conflicts with other persons. But if you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can en-
sure that such problems and conflicts do not have to occur. To protect the future of motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your mo-
torcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
Warning notes
In your own interest, read the specified warning notes.
Info
Various warning labels are attached to your vehicle. Do not remove any warning labels. If they are missing, you or others may
not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured.

raking
Warning
Danger of accidentsಗIf you brake too hard, the wheels can lock.
ಥ
Adapt your braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidentsಗReduced braking caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake.
ಥ
Have the brake system checked in an authorized KTM workshop, and do not ride any further.
Warning
Danger of accidentsಗReduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.
ಥ
Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently.
ಥ
ಥ
ಥ
On sandy, wet or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not overstress the engine.
In this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.

hecking the basic chassis setting with the rider's weight
Info
When adjusting the basic chassis setting, first adjust the shock absorber and then the fork.
For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage to forks, shock absorbers, swing arm and frame, the basic settings
of the suspension components must match your body weight.
As delivered, KTM motorcycles are adjusted for a standard rider weight (with full protective clothing).
Standard rider weight
75… 85kg (165.34… 187.39lb.)
If your weight is above or below the standard range, you have to adjust the basic setting of the suspension components accordingly.
Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, the springs
must be replaced.
ꢉ
ꢃꢄ
The shock absorber can regulate compression damping in low- and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control).
The term low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not the riding speed of the motor-
cycle.

Never user DOT5 brake fluid! This is based on silicone oil and is colored purple. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for
DOT5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container!

Warning
Environmental hazardಗProblem materials cause environmental damage.
ಥ

Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Fast recharging with a high charge current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charge current, the charge voltage and the charge time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the breathing holes.
The battery capacity is then reduced.
If the battery is discharged from starting, it must be recharged immediately.
If it stands for a long time in a discharged state, the battery becomes over-discharged and sulfated, and then it is destroyed.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.

The idle setting of the carburetor has a big influence on the starting behavior, stable
idling and the response to throttle opening. That means that an engine with a correctly
set idle speed is easier to start than if the idle is set wrongly.
Info
The carburetor and its components are subject to increased wear caused by en-
gine vibration. Wear can result in malfunctioning.
The idle speed is adjusted with the adjustment screwꢀ.
The idle mixture is adjusted with the idle mixture adjustment screwꢁ.

ಥ
Adjust to the point between these two positions with the highest idle speed.
Info
If there is a big engine speed rise, reduce the idle speed to a normal level
and repeat the above steps.
The extreme sport motocyclist will set the mixture about 1/4 of a turn back
from this ideal value (leaner, in a clockwise direction) since the engine be-
comes hotter in sporting use.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you have to fit a smaller idling jet.
The idle adjusting screw must not be opened more than two turns. If more
than two turns are necessary (rich mixture), use a larger idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, start from the beginning with the adjusting
steps.

Warning
Danger of poisoningಗFuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
ಥ
Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse imme-
diately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel. Store fuel in a suitable canister ac-
cording to regulations and keep it out of the reach of children.
Info
If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following actions.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you
should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the
start of the new season.

Jack up the motorcycle. ( P. 21)
Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping,
thus causing corrosion.
Info
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced during
combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.

JASOT903MA
Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles ಥ the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear-
lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specifi-
cation. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the fore-
ground for motorcycle engines. With most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the oil as the engine. The JASO
MA Standard meets these special requirements.
SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their vis-
cosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
