2 SAFETY ADVICE

2.9

Tampering warning

Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited. Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof:

1 The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

1 Removal or puncturing of the main silencer, baffles, header pipes or any other components which conduct exhaust gases.

2 Removal or puncturing of parts of the intake system.

3 Lack of proper maintenance.

4 Replacing moving part of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the manufacturer.

18

2.10

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.

2 SAFETY ADVICE

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.

19

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.

2.11

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.

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

2.12

Work rules

Special tools are necessary for some of the work. These are not included with the vehicle and can be ordered under the number in parentheses. Ex: valve spring mounter (59029019000)

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.

Where thread lockers are used on screw connections (e.g.,

Loctite ®

), follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.

Parts that you want to reuse following repairs and servicing should be cleaned and checked for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.

Following repairs or servicing, the vehicle must be checked for roadworthiness.

2 SAFETY ADVICE

2.13

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.

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

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 are properly carried out as described in the owner's manual. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and suspension can lead to damage and breakage of components.

Using the motorcycle in extreme operating conditions, e.g. on very muddy and wet roads or in a dusty and dry environment, can lead to above-average wear of components, such as the drive train, brakes or air filter. For this reasons, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the interval listed in the service schedule is reached.

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.

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.

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

Risk of injury

Falling off of the passenger.

The passenger must be seated properly on the passenger seat and hold on to the front rider or the grab handles. The feet must be positioned on the passenger footrests. Note the regulations governing the minimum age of passengers.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Danger of accidents caused by dangerous driving.

Comply with traffic regulations and ride defensively and foresightedly to detect sources of danger early on.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced road grip with cold tires.

On every journey, take the first miles carefully at moderate speed until the tires reach operating temperature and optimal road grip is ensured.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced road grip with new tires.

New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be roughened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved until the tires have been run in.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Unstable handling characteristics.

Do not exceed the maximum permitted weight and axle loads. The overall weight consists of: motorcycle operational and with a full tank, driver and passenger with protective clothing and helmet, baggage.

Warning

402299-11

When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear.

Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever, and open the throttle.

Info

You can see the positions of the 6 forward gears in the figure. The idle position is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.

After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be considerably lower.

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

99

Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions. Particularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.

To shift down, brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time.

Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and open the throttle or shift again.

If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the electric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.

Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.

If the oil pressure warning lamp lights up during a trip, stop immediately and switch off the engine. Contact an authorized KTM workshop.

If the engine warning lamp lights up during a trip, please contact an authorized KTM workshop as soon as possible.

Info

From the flash rhythm you can deduce a two-digit number, the so-called blink code. The blink code tells you which component is affected by a malfunction.

If the general warning lamp lights up during a trip, the matrix display shows a message for 10 seconds.

Info

Very important messages are stored in the

"Warning"

menu.

If the icy road symbol appears in the combination instrument, the roads may be icy.

Adjust your speed to the road conditions.

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

10.6

MSR (Option: Engine braking control)

The

MSR

is an optional auxiliary function of the engine control.

If the engine braking effect is too great, the

MSR

prevents the rear wheel from locking or sliding away on a sloping position.

To avoid slip of the rear wheel, the

MSR

only opens the throttle valve as far as absolutely necessary.

The

MSR

is applied on surfaces, where the friction is to low to open the anti

‑ hopping clutch.

To further increase ride safety, the

MSR

is slope dependent.

402423-01

Info

When the ABS or active Drive Mode

Offroad

( p. 212) is switched off, the

MSR

is not active.

100

10.7

Applying the brakes

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.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced braking efficiency caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake.

Check the brake system and do not continue riding. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning

Danger of accidents

Failure of brake system.

If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. The rear brake may fail due to overheating. Take your foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

Danger of accidents

Longer stopping distance due to higher overall weight.

Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger and baggage.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Delayed brake action on salted roads.

There may be salt deposits on the brake discs. In order to restore the normal braking efficiency, you will need to remove the deposits from the discs by carefully applying the brakes.

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.

101

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.

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

Info

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

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

102

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.

401662-01

The ABS unit  , which consists of a hydraulic unit, brake electronics control unit, and return pump, is installed under the seat. A wheel speed sensor and rear wheel respectively.

 is located at the front

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.)

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.

ABS has two operating modes: the

"Road"

and

"Offroad"

ABS modes.

In the

"Road"

ABS mode, the brakes are also applied to the rear wheel when the front brake is applied. ABS can intervene on both wheels.

14 BRAKE SYSTEM

156

In the

"Offroad"

ABS mode, the front brake slows the front wheel. The rear brake slows the rear wheel. There is no ABS intervention on the rear wheel. The ABS lamp slowly to remind you that the

"Offroad"

ABS mode is enabled.

 flashes

Info

In the

"Offroad"

ABS mode, the rear wheel may block and there is a risk of falling.

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.

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. 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 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 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 enabled again.

MSC

The

MSC

is a supplementary function for the ABS that can prevent blocking and slipping of the wheels during braking when the vehicle is inclined (riding in curves) within the physical limitations.

Using the 5D sensor, ABS control is now dependent on the inclination and pitch angle.

ABS control that is dependent on the inclination and pitch angle improves the riding stability and braking effect in all riding situations. The

MSC

also reduces the righting moment

14 BRAKE SYSTEM

157

during hard braking in curves. This prevents the motorcycle from righting itself from an inclined angle and moving along a larger curve radius. Due to the additional electronic control of the brake force distribution between the two wheels, the braking force is optimally distributed and the motorcycle is additionally stabilized.

Info

The

MSC

is only active in ABS mode

15 WHEELS, TIRES

15.1

Tubeless tire system

165

This vehicle makes use of a tubeless tire system in which a tubeless sealing profile  is used instead of the conventional tube.

The advantage of the tubeless system is that there is no risk of a defective tube. This greatly reduces the risk of a sudden loss in pressure.

The masses and moments of inertia of these wheels are smaller than in conventional spoke wheels with a tube. This results in better handling and riding comfort.

The rigid rim design results in a spoke wheel that is almost entirely maintenance-free.

KTM recommends that the tubeless sealing profile be changed after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the actual state of wear.

Checking the tire condition

Warning

Danger of accidents

Uncontrollable vehicle handling in the event of a flat tire.

In the interest of safety, replace damaged or worn tires immediately. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning

Danger of crashing

Poor vehicle handling due to different tire tread patterns on front and rear wheels.

The front and rear wheels must be fitted with tires with similar tread patterns to prevent loss of control over the vehicle.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling characteristic.

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

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced road grip with new tires.

New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be roughened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved until the tires have been run in.

175

Info

The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an impact on the braking and riding response of the vehicle.

Worn tires have a negative effect on vehicle handling, especially on wet surfaces.

15 WHEELS, TIRES

176

Check the front and rear tires for cuts, run-in objects and other damage.

» If the tires exhibit cuts, run-in objects or other damage:

Change the tires.

Check the depth of the tread.

Info

Note local national regulations concerning the minimum tread depth.

Minimum tread depth

2 mm (

0.08 in)

» If the tread depth is less than the minimum permissible depth:

Change the tires.

Check the age of the tires.

Info

The tire's date of manufacture is usually part of the tire markings and is indicated by the last four digits of the

DOT

marking. The first two digits refer to the week of manufacture and last two digits refer to the year of manufacture.

KTM recommends that the tires be changed after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the actual state of wear.

» If a tire is more than five years old:

Change the tires.

15.8

Checking the tire air pressure

Info

Low tire air pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.

Correct tire air pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.

15 WHEELS, TIRES

400695-01

Remove the dust cap.

Check the tire air pressure when the tires are cold.

Tire air pressure, solo/with passenger/full payload

Rear: with cold tires 2.9 bar (42 psi)

» If the tire pressure does not meet specifications:

Correct the tire pressure.

Mount the dust cap.

15.9

Checking spoke tension

Warning

Danger of accidents

Instable handling due to incorrect spoke tension.

Ensure that the spoke tension is correct. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Info

A loose spoke can easily cause lateral or radial runout on the wheel. More spokes loosen in a short period.

If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.

Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.

177

15 WHEELS, TIRES

400694-01

178

Strike each spoke briefly using a screwdriver blade.

Info

The frequency of the sound is a function of the spoke length and spoke diameter.

If spokes of the same length and diameter vibrate with a different tone, this is an indication that the spoke tensions differ.

You should hear a high note.

» If the spoke tension differs:

Correct the spoke tension.

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.

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

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.

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. 246)

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

223

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. 119)

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

227

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.

26 STANDARDS

248

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.
