2 SAFETY ADVICE
2.11
When you respect the rights of others and use your motorcycle legally, you will help protect the future of motorcy-
cle sport and avoid most conflicts and problems.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the applica-
ble laws and regulations in your country.
When disposing of the lithium-ion battery (KTM PowerPack) and the 12 V battery, comply with the laws and regu-
lations of the respective country.
Your authorized KTM dealer can dispose of the KTM PowerPack free of charge and in an environmentally compat-
ible manner.
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 assist you.
Electrical devices like the charger may not be disposed of with household waste. Electrical devices must be dis-
posed of through the appropriate recycling centers. Contact your municipality or your authorized KTM dealer.
