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.

The vehicle should only be used by trained persons. 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

2.12

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.

26

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

2.13

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.

2.14

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

2.15

Owner's Manual

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.

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.

Compression damping of the shock absorber

500313-01

The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.

High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle speed.

The high-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear wheel suspension compresses quickly.

The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses slowly.

These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is gradual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.

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 if the ABS is switched off (burn out).

– 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.)

401999-10

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.

ABS has two operating modes: the "ROAD" and "SUP MOT" ABS modes.

In the "ROAD" ABS mode, the ABS controls both wheels.

14 BRAKE SYSTEM

129

In the "SUP MOT" ABS mode, the ABS only controls the front wheel. There is no ABS intervention on the rear wheel. The ABS lamp

"SUP MOT" ABS mode is enabled.

 flashes slowly to remind you that the

Info

In the "SUP MOT" ABS mode, the rear wheel may block and there is a risk of crashing.

The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear brakes). When the brake electronics control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating the brake pressure. The regulating process causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers.

The ABS 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 is lit while riding, this indicates a fault in the ABS system. 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 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 reactivate the ABS, the vehicle must be stopped and the ignition switched off. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The ABS lamp goes out when you start off.

In the "MTC/ABS" menu, ABS can be switched off manually.

Info

After the ignition is switched back on, ABS is reactivated.

16 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

156

Info

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

The charge state and the type of charge 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, and charging time are 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, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.

If the battery is not charged using the KTM battery charger, the battery must be removed for charging. Otherwise, overvoltage may damage electronic components. Charge the battery according to the instructions on the battery housing.

20.1

Cleaning motorcycle

Note

Material damage   Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.

– When cleaning the vehicle with a pressure cleaner, do not point the water jet directly onto electrical components, connectors, cables, bearings, etc. Maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component. Excessive pressure can cause malfunctions or destroy these parts.

Warning

Environmental hazard   Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.

– Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.

Info

If you clean the motorcycle regularly, its value and appearance will be maintained over a long period.

Avoid direct sunshine on the motorcycle during cleaning.

401061-01

– Close off the exhaust system to keep water from entering.

– First remove coarse dirt particles with a gentle spray of water.

– Spray very dirty areas with a normal motorcycle cleaner and then clean with a brush.

Motorcycle cleaner ( p. 214)

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.

20 CLEANING, CARE

189

– 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 protection caps 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. 117)

– Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) with corrosion inhibitor.

Preserving materials for paints, metal and rubber ( p. 215)

– Treat the painted parts with a mild paint polish.

20.2

Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation

Info

If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggressive road salt.

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

401060-01

Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 188)

– Clean the brakes.

Info

After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly wash the brake calipers and brake linings with cold water and dry carefully. This should be done after the parts are cooled down and while they are installed.

After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.

– Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion inhibitor.

Info

Corrosion inhibitor must not come into contact with the brake discs. This would severely lower the braking effect.

21 STORAGE

193

Lift the motorcycle with the front lifting gear. ( p. 108)

– Cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar cover that is permeable to air.

Info

Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.

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 the exhaust system to rust.

21.2

Preparing for use after storage

Take the motorcycle from the front lifting gear. ( p. 109)

Remove the rear of the motorcycle from the lifting gear. ( p. 107)

– Install the battery.

26 STANDARDS

216

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.
