Warning

Check that your luggage is fixed properly at regular intervals.
Warning
Danger of accidents A fall can damage the vehicle more seriously than it may first appear.
–
Check the vehicle after a fall as you do when preparing for use.
Note
Engine damage Unfiltered intake air has a negative effect on the service life of the engine.
Dust and dirt will enter the engine without an air filter.
–
Only operate the vehicle if it is equipped with an air filter.
Note
Engine failure Overheating damages the engine.
–
If the coolant temperature warning is displayed, stop immediately and take care not to endanger yourself or
other traffic participants in the process.
–
Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down.
–
Check and, if necessary, correct the coolant level on the cooling system while it is in a cooled state.
Note
Transmission damage Incorrect use of Easy Shift will damage the transmission.
Easy Shift can only be used if the function is activated in the combination instrument.
Easy Shift is not active if you pull the clutch lever.
–
Only use Easy Shift in the permitted speed range shown.
Info
If unusual noises occur while riding, stop immediately (taking care not to endanger yourself or other road
users in the process), switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road
situation, etc.).
–
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 neutral or idle position is between the first
V01271-10
and second gears. First gear is used for starting off or
for steep inclines.
The operating temperature is reached when 5 bars of
the temperature indicator light up.
–
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.
–
Only accelerate up to a speed suitable for the road surface and
weather conditions. Particularly in bends, do not shift, and
accelerate very carefully.
–
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in
order to shift down.
