Checking the cooling liquid level

The cooling liquid should be 10 mm (0.4 in) above the cooling elements when
the engine is cold (cf. diagram). In the event of the cooling liquid being drained,
always fill the system before hand, then top off while the engine is running.
– IF POSSIBLE, ALWAYS CHECK LEVEL OF COOLING LIQUID WHEN ENGINE IS
COLD. IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT,
USE A RAG TO COVER THE CAP AND OPEN SLOWLY TO RELEASE PRESSURE.
CAUTION - SCALDING HAZARD !
– DO NOT DETACH ANY RADIATOR HOSES WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. THE
ESCAPING HOT COOLANT AND THE STEAM MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
– IN CASE YOU GET BURNT, HOLD THE AFFECTED PART OF YOUR BODY UNDER
RUNNING COLD WATER RIGHT AWAY!
– COOLANT IS TOXIC. KEEP THE COOLANT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!
– IN CASE COOLANT IS INGESTED, GO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!
– IF COOLANT GETS INTO YOUR EYES, RINSE THEM OUT WITH WATER IMMEDI-
ATELY AND GO SEE A DOCTOR!

Cleaning of air filter *

To do this, remove the seat and the air filter cover from the air filter box. Unclap
the filter holder [1], swing back and remove air filter plus filter carrier from
the filter box.
Thoroughly wash the air filter in special cleaning fluid and allow to dry well.
Motorex offers environmentally-friendly products for professional oil filter
maintenance (Motorex Bio Dirt Remover + Motorex Liquid Bio Power). Only
press out the filter, do not wring out under any circumstances. Oil the dry air
filter with a high grade filter oil. Also clean the air filter box. Check carbure-
tor collar for damage and that it is fitted correctly.
Mount the air filter on the filter support [2]. Grease the front side [A] of the
filter, to improve the seal. Mount the air filter and the filter support in the fil-
ter box. Make sure they are centered [B], and lock into place with the filter
holder [1].
– DO NOT CLEAN AIR FILTER WITH FUEL OR PETROLEUM SINCE THESE DAM-
AGE THE FOAM. KTM RECOMMENDS THE PRODUCTS OF THE COMPANY
„MOTOREX" FOR AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE.
– HAVING MOUNTED THE AIR FILTER, CHECK IT FOR CORRECT FIT. THE FRONT
END A MUST ABOUT THE AIR FILTER BOX. OTHERWISE, DUST AND DIRT MAY
GET INTO THE ENGINE AND LEAD TO INCREASED WEAR.
– NEVER OPERATE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT AIR FILTER. OTHERWISE,
DUST AND DIRT MAY GET INTO THE ENGINE AND LEAD TO INCREASED WEAR.
