If the level of brake fluid falls below the minimum value, this indicates a leak in the braking system or completely worn out brake pads. Arrange for the braking system to be checked by a KTM specialist garage, as complete failure of the braking system can be expected.
– If this is not the case, refill the tank – if sufficient fuel is in the tank, proceed as described in the „Trouble- shooting“ section or contact a KTM dealer. NOTE: This motorcycle is equipped with a safety starting system. The engine can only be started if the transmission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTING WORK MARKED WITH AN ASTERISK (*) REQUIRES EXPERT SKILLS AND TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS HAVE SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A SPECIALIZED KTM DEALER WHERE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL BE OPTIMALLY SERVICED BY APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED SKILLED STAFF.
Checking and adjusting steering head bearing * Check steering head bearing for play periodicaly. To check this put motorcycle on a stand so that the front wheel is off the ground. Now try to move the fork forward and backward. To adjust, loosen the five clamp screws of the top triple clamp and turn steering stem bolt clockwise until there is no more play.
Measure the distance between the two discs at various points around their min. 2,5 mm circumferences. The space should be at least 2.5 mm (0,1 in) wide. Have the rubber ring replaced by an KTM dealer when compaction due to wear has exceeded this lower limit. CAUTION...
Checking chain tension Support the motorcycle on the center stand or side stand, respectively. Switch transmission to neutral. Push the chain upwards appr. 30 mm (1,2 in) from the end of the chain sliding component until the upper part of the chain is tensioned (see illustr.) Now, the distance between chain and swingarm should be 0 mm.
Chain maintenance For long chain life, good maintenance is very important. X-ring chains require only modest maintenance. The best way is to use lots of water, but never use brushes or solvents. After letting the chain dry, you can use a special X-ring chain spray (Motorex Chainlube Racing).
ROAD TRAFFIC AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID BRAKE FLUID: KTM fills the brake systems with Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5.1 brake fluid, one of the best brake fluids that is currently available. We recommend that you continue to use it. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether and of an amber color.
Adjusting of free travel at the hand brake lever Free travel at the hand brake lever may be readjusted by using adjusting min. 3 mm screw . In this way, the position of the point of pressure (i.e., the resistance you feel on the hand brake lever when the brake pads are pressed against the brake disc) can be adjusted for any hand size.
Changing the basic position of the brake pedal * The basic setting of the foot brake pedal can be changed by turning the end stop roller . Using the push rod , the free play on the foot brake pedal must be set.
Dismounting and mounting the front wheel * Jack the motorcycle up at the underride protection until the front wheel no longer touches the ground. Loosen the collar screw and the clamp screws at both fork leg axle passages. Unscrew the collar screw approx. 8 turns, pressing your hand against the collar screw to push the axle passage out of the fork leg and remove the collar screw.
Dismounting and mounting the rear wheel* Jack the motorcycle up by frame so that the rear wheel no longer touches the ground. Loosen the collar nut , hold the rear wheel and pull out the wheel spindle until the rear wheel is free but the brake caliper support is still held.
Charging the battery NOTE: A battery charger, item no. 58429074000 is available from your KTM dealer. You can also use the battery charger to test the battery's off load voltage, startability and the generator capacity. Remove the battery and check the charging level. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage between the battery poles (off-load voltage).
Replace a blown fuse only with an equivalent one. If a new fuse that has just been set in gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it inspected by a KTM dealer. CAUTION NDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS A STRONGER FUSE ALLOWED TO BE SET IN OR A FUSE “...

Only use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the JASO MA quality requirements (see information on the can). 5W/40 10W/50 KTM recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for temperatures over 0°C, 32°F) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C, 32°F). Checking the engine oil level The engine oil level can be checked when the engine is cold or warm.
Therefore, we recommend that you have the engine oil changed by your authorized KTM mechanic. During the guaranty period, the oil change must be performed by an authorized KTM mechanic. Otherwise, the guarantee will become void.
To facilitate bleeding of the oil system, we have added a hose connection piece and a plastic hose to the set of tools. Take an empty oil can (1 liter) and drill a 7 mm-diameter hole into the lid. Screw the hose connection piece into the lid from the outside, and secure it from the inside with the M8 hexagon nut.
We would like to point out that many operations cannot be performed by oneself. In case of uncertainty, please contact a KTM-dealer.
