8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with cold tires.
–
On every journey, take the first miles carefully at moderate speed until the tires reach operating temperature and optimal road
grip is ensured.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Warning
Danger of accidents Unstable handling characteristics due to slipped baggage.
–
Check the way your baggage is fixed regularly.
Warning
Danger of accidents Lack of roadworthiness.
–
After a fall, check the vehicle as usual before preparing for use.
Note
Engine failure Overheating of engine.
–
If the coolant temperature warning lamp lights up, stop and switch off the engine. Allow the engine to cool down and check the
coolant level in the radiator, and top up if necessary. If you continue with the coolant temperature warning lamp alight, you may have
engine failure.
Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
