RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Note
Engine damage Engine overheating.
–
If the coolant temperature warning lamp lights up, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine. Let the engine cool down, and then
check the coolant level in the radiator and top up if necessary. If you continue your journey with the coolant temperature warning lamp
on, this may cause engine failure.
Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
–
When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear.
–
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch and open the throttle.
Info
You can see the positions of the six forward gears in the figure. The neutral or
idle position is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting
off or for steep inclines.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back

so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
–
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions.
When traveling in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
–
To shift down, brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time.
–
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly and open
the throttle or shift again.
–
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), pull the clutch lever only and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
