Engine oil

Automobile engine oil used to be used for four-stroke motorcycles
before there were separate motorcycle specifications. Different
technical developments made it necessary to have a separate
specification for four-stroke motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA standard.
Whereas car engines require long changing intervals, motorcycle
engines require a higher power output at higher speeds. Most
motorcycle engines also use the same oil to lubricate the transmission
and the clutch. The JASO MA standard responds to these special
requirements.
Only use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the JASO MA quality
requirements (see information on the can).
KTM recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for
temperatures over 0°C) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C).
