Driving Instructions; Check The Following Before Each Start - KTM 640 LC4 ADVENTURE Owner's Manual

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS

Check the following before each start

When you start off, the motorcycle must be in a perfect technical condition. For
safety reasons, you should make a habit of performing an overall check of your
motorcycle before each start.
The following checks should be performed:
1 CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Insufficient oil results in premature wear and consequently to engine
damage.
2 FUEL
Check the fuel level in the tank.
3 CHAIN
A loose chain can fall off; an extremely worn chain can tear, and
insufficient lubrication can result in unnecessary wear to the chain and
rear sprockets.
4 TIRES
Check for damaged tires. Tires showing cuts or dents must be replaced.
The tread depth must comply with the legal regulations. Also check the
air pressure. Insufficient tread and incorrect air pressure reduce the
driving performance.
5 BRAKES
Check correct functioning of the braking system. Check for sufficient
brake fluid in the reservoir. The reservoirs have been designed in such a
way that brake fluid does not need to be refilled even when the brake
pads are worn. If the level of brake fluid falls below the minimum value,
this indicates a leak in the braking system or completely worn out brake
pads. Arrange for the braking system to be checked by a KTM specialist
garage, as complete failure of the braking system can be expected.
Also check the state of the brake hoses and the thickness of the brake
linings.
Check free travel at hand brake lever and foot brake pedal.
