If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause an accident resulting in injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
KTM North America, Inc.

2.10 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 replace-
ment, 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
2 the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any
person.
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.
2.11 Safe operation
Danger
Danger of accidents A rider who is not fit to ride poses a danger to him or herself and others.
– Do not operate the vehicle if you are not fit to ride due to alcohol, drugs or medication.
– Do not operate the vehicle if you are physically or mentally impaired.
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 an effective exhaust extraction system 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.
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
12
2.12 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.
2.13 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 thread locker (e.g. Loctite
®
) is required. Apply according to 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.
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 conscious-
ness, 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.
2.15 Owner's Manual
It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Own-
er'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 must be handed over to the new owner if the
vehicle is sold.
3 IMPORTANT NOTES
13
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 enter the groundwater, the soil, or the sewage system.
Use operating and auxiliary substances (such as fuel and lubricants) as specified in the Owner's Manual.
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
3.4 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 as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to consid-
erably 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.

The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.
