Danger Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and death. – Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation when running the engine. – Use effective exhaust extraction when starting or running the engine in an enclosed space. Warning Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated. – Do not touch any parts such as the exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, or brake system before the vehicle parts have cooled down. – Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle. 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. 21 2 SAFETY ADVICE Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized KTM workshop. Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle. 2.13 Protective clothing Warning Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk. – Wear appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as trousers and a jacket with protectors on all rides. – Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations. In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing. 2.14 Work rules Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the vehicle, but can be ordered using the number in parentheses. Example: bearing puller (15112017000) During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers). In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g. Loctite®) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts. After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle. 22 SAFETY ADVICE 2 2.15 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. 2.16 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 service 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 must be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold. The Owner's Manual is also available for download from your authorized KTM dealer and on the KTM website. International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com 23 3 IMPORTANT NOTES 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 the KTM Dealer.net, otherwise any warranty coverage will become void. Damage or secondary damage caused by tampering with and/or conversions on the vehicle is not covered by the manufacturer warranty. Additional information on the manufacturer or manufacturer warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the Service & Warranty Booklet. 3.2 Fuel, auxiliary substances Note Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment. – Do not allow fuel to enter the groundwater, the soil, or the sewage system. Use fuels and auxiliary substances in accordance with the Owner's Manual and specification. 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. 24 IMPORTANT NOTES 3 The current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle can be found on the KTM website. International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com 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. An incorrect suspension setting can lead to damage and breakage of chassis components. Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as in heavy rain, intense heat or with a heavy payload, may result in significantly increased 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. The relevant mileage or time interval is whichever occurs first. 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. 25 3 IMPORTANT NOTES A list of authorized KTM dealers can be found on the KTM website.

Guideline Screw, shock absorber adjusting ring 12.5 M6 3.5 Nm (2.58 lbf ft) Compression damping of the shock absorber (RC 390 R US) 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. 116 TUNING THE CHASSIS 12 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. 12.6 Adjusting the high-speed compression damping of the shock absorber (RC 390 R US) Caution Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incorrectly.

One wheel speed sensor is located in each case on the front and the rear wheel. 2 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 specified tire pressure. – Ensure that service work and repairs are 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. H01910-10 152 BRAKE SYSTEM 14 Warning Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limitations. It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for example with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking without disengaging the gear. – Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability. 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 the brake pressure. The control function causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot brake levers. The 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 con- 3 153 14 BRAKE SYSTEM ditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the rear wheel spins. This causes the ABS to switch off. To reactivate the ABS, stop the vehicle and switch off the ignition. The ABS is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The ABS warning lamp goes out when you start off. 14.2 Checking the brake discs Warning Danger of accidents Worn-out brake discs reduce the braking effect. – Make sure that worn-out brake discs are replaced immediately.

Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, the focus for motorcycle engines is on high performance at high engine speeds. In most motorcycle engines, the transmission and clutch are lubricated with the same oil. The JASO T903 MA2 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. 268 INDEX OF SPECIAL TERMS 27 ABS Anti-lock braking system Safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces OBD On-board diagnosis Vehicle system, which monitors the specified parameters of the vehicle electronics 269 28 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Art. no.
