Changing the original position of the clutch lever

The adjusting screw [1] can be used for individual adjustment of the original position of the
clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction will move the clutch lever away from
the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw in a counterclockwise direction will move the
clutch lever closer to the handlebar.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH LEVER POSITION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS. ONLY
TURN THE ADJUSTING SCREW MANUALLY AND NEVER APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Checking the oil level of the hydraulic clutch
To check the oil level in the master cylinder of the clutch remove the cover. For this pur-
pose, remove screws and cover [2] together with the rubber boot [3]. The oil level in the hor-
2
izontal-standing master cylinder should be 4 mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, add SAE 10 biodegradable hydraulic oil (Motorex clutch fluid 75), available
from your authorized KTM workshop.

KTM USES BIODEGRADABLE, HYDRAULIC MINERAL OIL TO ACTUATE THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH.
DO NOT MIX THIS OIL WITH ANY OTHER HYDRAULIC OIL. ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL KTM HYDRAULIC
OIL (AVAILABLE FROM YOUR AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP) TO MAKE SURE YOUR CLUTCH
OPERATES SMOOTHLY. NEVER REFILL WITH BRAKE FLUID.
