CLEANING, CARE Cleaning the motorcycle 35.1 Note Material damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment. – Never clean the vehicle with high-pressure cleaning equipment or a strong water-jet. The excessive pressure can penetrate electri- cal components, socket connects, throttle cables, and bearings, etc., and can damage or destroy these parts. Warning Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
CLEANING, CARE Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation 35.2 Info If the motorcycle is used in the winter, salt can be expected on the roads. Precautions need to be taken against road salt corro- sion. If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water after riding. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt.
– Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in tem- perature. Info KTM recommends raising the motorcycle. – Raise the motorcycle with the lift stand. ( p. 10) – Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materi- als since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Final check: Check the vehicle for roadworthiness and take a test ride. • • • Read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool after a test ride. • • • Make the service entry in KTM DEALER.NET and in the service record.
