IMPORTANT INFORMATION 7
Use definition
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and constructed to meet the normal demands of regular road operation but not for use on race
courses or offroad.
Info
The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous version only.
Service
A prerequisite for fault-free operation and avoiding premature wear is compliance with the instructions for maintenance, care and tuning of
the engine and suspension provided in the owner's manual. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and
breakage of components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet roads 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
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.
Warranty
The work prescribed in the service plan must only be carried out in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed in the service record; oth-
erwise all warranty claims will be disregarded. No warranty claim can be met for damage resulting from manipulation and/or other changes
to the vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 8
Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that have been 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.
Some spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.
You will find the current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle on the KTM website.
International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com
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 parenthe-
ses. Example: 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.
If a thread lock (e.g. Loctite
®
) is used for screw connections, be sure to comply with the manufacturer's specific instructions on its usage.
Parts that you want to reuse following repairs and servicing should be cleaned and checked for damage and wear. Change damaged or
worn parts.
Ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy after completing repair and maintenance work.
Transport
Note
Danger of damage The parked vehicle may roll away or fall over.
– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.
Note
Fire hazard Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
– Do not park the vehicle near flammable or explosive substances. Do not place objects on the vehicle while it is still warm from being
run. Always let the vehicle cool first.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 9
– Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
– 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 potential
problem for the environment and can lead to conflicts with other persons. But if you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that
such problems and conflicts do not have to occur. To protect the future of motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle
legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
Notes/warnings
Pay close attention to the notes/warnings.
Info
Various information and warning labels are affixed to the vehicle. Do not remove information/warning labels. If they are missing,
you or others may not recognize potential hazards and may therefore be injured.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 10

taken.

Owner's manual
– It is important that you read this owner's manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. It contains useful information
and tips to help you operate and handle your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the motorcycle ideally for your
own use and how you can protect yourself from injury. The owner's manual also contains important information on servicing the motor-
cycle.
