11

2.5

Safe operation

Danger

Danger of accidents   Danger arising from the rider's judgement being impaired.

– Do not operate the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs and certain medications or physically or mentally impaired.

Danger

Danger of poisoning   Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and/or death.

– When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in an enclosed space without an effective exhaust extraction system.

Warning

Danger of burns   Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.

– Do not touch hot components such as exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, and the brake system. Allow these components to cool down before starting work on them.

Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a safe and environmentally compatible manner.

An appropriate driver's license is needed to ride the vehicle on public roads.

Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized KTM workshop.

Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle.

2 SAFETY ADVICE

2.6

Protective clothing

Warning

Risk of injury   Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.

– Wear protective clothing (helmet, boots, gloves, pants and jacket with protectors) every time you ride the vehicle. Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal requirements.

12

In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.

2.7

Work rules

Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parentheses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000)

During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced by new parts.

In some instances, a thread locker (e.g.

Loctite ® ) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed.

After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.

After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.

2.8

Environment

If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.

When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the respective country.

Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.

2 SAFETY ADVICE

2.9

Owner's Manual

It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and maintain your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury.

Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.

If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an authorized KTM dealer.

The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.

3 IMPORTANT NOTES

14

3.1

Manufacturer and implied warranty

The work specified in the service schedule may only be performed in an authorized KTM workshop and must be recorded in both the

Service & Warranty Booklet and in KTM Dealer.net

, otherwise any warranty coverage will become void. Damage or secondary damage caused by tampering with and/or conversions on the vehicle are not covered by the warranty.

Additional information on the manufacturer or implied warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the Service & Warranty Booklet.

3.2

Operating and auxiliary substances

Warning

Environmental hazard   Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.

– Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.

3.3

Spare parts, accessories

For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by KTM and have them installed by an authorized KTM workshop. KTM accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.

Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.

The current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle can be found on the KTM website.

International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com

3 IMPORTANT NOTES

3.4

Service

A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components.

Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such in rain, high heat or with a heavy load, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service.

It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.

15

3.5

Figures

The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.

In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not always necessary to disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instructions in the text.

3.6

Customer service

Your authorized KTM dealer will be happy to answer any questions you may have on your vehicle and KTM.

– When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.

– 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 over rev the engine. In this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.

(125 Duke)

Warning

Danger of accidents   Greater stopping distance due to ABS.

– Braking should be appropriate to the driving situation and the road conditions.

Warning

Danger of accidents   Very forceful braking can cause the wheels to block.

– ABS must be switched on to be effective.

– When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.

8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Info

When ABS is active, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without locking of the wheels.

68

Warning

Danger of accidents   Locking of the wheels due to braking action of the engine.

– Pull the clutch during emergency braking, full brake application and when braking on a slippery surface.

Warning

Danger of accidents   Road grip is reduced when braking with the motorcycle at an angle or on a laterally inclined surface.

– Braking should be completed before you enter into a bend.

– 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 over rev the engine. In this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.

12.1

Antilock Braking System (ABS) (125 Duke)

The ABS unit  , which consists of a hydraulic unit, ABS control unit, and return pump, is installed under the seat. A wheel speed sensor  is located at the front and rear wheels.

Warning

Danger of accidents   Changes to the vehicle impair the function of the ABS.

– Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake applied away from public road traffic if the ABS is switched off.

– Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.

– Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been approved and recommended by KTM.

– Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.

– Maintain the specified tire air pressure.

– Service work and repairs must be performed professionally. (Your authorized

KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

The ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces.

Warning

Danger of accidents   Vehicle rollover

– It is not always possible to prevent vehicle rollover in extreme riding situations

(e. g. luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents, full braking without disengaging the gear). Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.

401687-10

The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear brakes). During normal operation, the brake system operates like a conventional brake system without ABS.

When the ABS control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating

12 BRAKE SYSTEM

96 the brake pressure. The regulating process causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.

ABS warning lamp  must light up after the ignition is switched on and go out after starting off. If it does not go out after starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indicates a fault in the ABS. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled and the wheels may lock during braking. The brake system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not available.

The ABS warning lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of the front and rear wheels differ greatly under extreme riding conditions, for example when making wheelies or if the rear wheel spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.

To reenable the ABS, the vehicle must be stopped and the ignition switched off. The ABS is reenabled when the vehicle is switched on again. The ABS warning lamp goes out when you start off.

Button  can be used to switch ABS off manually (see Starting).

12.2

Checking the brake discs

Warning

Danger of accidents   Reduced braking efficiency due to worn brake disc(s).

Warning

Environmental hazard   The battery contains elements that are harmful to the environment.

– Do not dispose of batteries with the household waste. Dispose of a defective battery in an environmentally friendly manner. Give the battery to your authorized KTM dealer or dispose of it at a collection point for used batteries.

Info

Even when there is no load on the battery, it discharges steadily.

The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the battery.

Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.

If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This reduces the battery capacity.

If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.

If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the battery.

The battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be checked.

18 CLEANING, CARE

159

Info

Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge.

Never apply motorcycle cleaner to a dry vehicle; always rinse the vehicle with water first.

If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt.

– After rinsing the motorcycle with a gentle spray of water, allow it to dry thoroughly.

– Remove the closure of the exhaust system.

Warning

Danger of accidents   Reduced braking efficiency due to a wet or dirty brake system.

– Clean or dry a dirty or wet brake system by riding and braking gently.

– After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the engine warms up.

Info

The heat produced causes water at inaccessible locations in the engine and on the brake system to evaporate.

– Push back the sleeves of the handlebar controls to allow any water that has penetrated to evaporate.

– After the motorcycle has cooled off, lubricate all moving parts and bearings.

Clean the chain. ( p. 83)

JASO T903 MA

Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification.

Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines. In most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the same 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 viscosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
