  • Page 41: Checking The Chain Tension

    If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle.

  • Page 42: Chain Maintenance

    – The chain does not have a chain joint for safety reasons. Always have the chain replaced in an authorized KTM workshop where the service technicans have the required riveting tool. – Never mount a normal chain joint.

  • Page 43: Brake Calipers

    Brake pads available in the accessory trade are often not authorized for operation of your KTM motorcycle in road traffic. The brake pads design and friction factor and therefore the braking power can deviate significantly from original KTM brake pads. If you use different brake pads than those provided with the original equipment, it cannot be warranted that they are authorized for use in road traffic.

  • Page 44: Brake Fluid

    DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not, in any event, use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is based on silicone oil and is dyed purple. KTM motorcycle gaskets and brake hoses are not designed for DOT 5 brake fluid.

  • Page 45: Checking The Front Brake Fluid Level

    – If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately.
  • Page 46 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Checking the front brake pads The brake pads can be inspected from the rear. The linings must be at least 1 mm (0.04 min. in) thick. 1 mm At their most worn point brake pad linings should not be thinner than 1 mm, otherwise they could lead to brake failure.

  • Page 47: Checking The Rear Brake Fluid Level

    – If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately.
  • Page 48 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Changing the seat height (Super Duke R) The seat height of the mono-seat can be raised by 7 or 15 mm (0.3 or 0.6 in). The parts required are supplied with the bike. Remove the seat and the screws [B].

  • Page 49: Dismounting And Remounting The Front Wheel

    The front stand only adequately fixes the motorcycle together with the rear stand. The stands shown in the illustration can be found in the KTM Power Parts catalog. First mount the rear, then the front stand. Make sure the stands rest on solid ground and are correctly mounted.
  • Page 50 – If you do not have a torque wrench to mount the wheel, have the torques corrected by an authorized KTM workshop as soon as possible. A loose wheel spindle can cause the motorcycle's handling performance to become instable and cause it to crash.

  • Page 51: Dismounting And Mounting The Rear Wheel

    Special stands are required to dismount the wheels to make sure the motorcycle is securely fixed. The stands shown in the illustration can be found in the KTM Power Parts catalog. Mount the rear stand. Make sure the stand rests on solid ground and is correctly mounted.

  • Page 54: Removing And Remounting The Battery

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Removing and remounting the battery The battery only needs to be removed if the motorcycle is being immobilized. Remove the screws [1] on both sides, loosen the screws [2] 2 turns and remove the front spoiler towards the front.

  • Page 55: Charging The Battery

    To charge the battery while mounted, always use the KTM battery charger (Item no. 58429074000) to ensure that the electric system is not damaged by excess voltage. Always remove the battery if using other battery chargers! You can also use this charging device to test the off-load voltage and startability of the battery and generator.
  • Page 56 Pull the connector [1] out of the bracket, remove the cap [2] and check the main fuse [3]. A spare fuse [4] (30 amperes)is also plugged into the bracket. Always replace blown fuses with an equivalent fuse. Visit an authorized KTM workshop if a new fuse blows again after it is inserted.
  • Page 57 Replace a blown fuse only with an equivalent one. If a new fuse that has just been set in gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it inspected by a KTM dealer. Under no circumstances is a stronger fuse allowed to be set in or a fuse allowed to be “repaired”.

  • Page 58: Replacing The Headlight Lamp

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Replacing the headlight lamp Remove the screws [1] on the left and right and tilt the headlight mask down towards the front. Never touch the glass of the bulb with your fingers. The glass of the bulb must remain absolutely free from grease.

BULB FOR BRAKE LIGHT: Turn the bulb socket [1] approx. 30° in a counterclockwise direction and pull it out of the taillight housing.

  • Page 61: Cooling System

    If the fan is not working, and there appears to be sufficient cool- ing liquid, the only thing you can do is to drive on to your nearest authorized KTM work- shop at the least possible engine load.

  • Page 62: Checking The Cooling Liquid Level In The Compensating Tank

    If you need to add cooling liquid quite often, the cooling system may leak. If the compen- sating tank is empty, also check the cooling liquid level in the radiator. Have the cooling system checked by an authorized KTM workshop.

  • Page 63: Bleeding The Cooling System

    If any cooling liquid is missing, the cooling system is probably leaking. Have the cooling system checked at an authorized KTM workshop. If possible, check the cooling liquid level when the engine is cold. If you need to remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, hold the cap with a cloth and open slowly, allow- ing any excess pressure to escape (danger of scalding).
  • Page 64 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Remove the bleeder screw [5] on the left side of the radiator. To completely bleed the cooling system, the motorcycle must be raised approx. 50 cm (20 in) in the front. Add cooling liquid until it runs out of the vent holes without bubbles and immediately mount the screw to prevent air from entering the radiator.

  • Page 65: Checking The Oil Level Of The Hydraulic Clutch

    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 useoriginal KTM hydraulic oil (available from your authorized KTM workshop) to make sure your clutch operates smoothly.

  • Page 66: Basic Setting

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE How to change the handlebar position (Super Duke R) The upper triple clamp includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0.6 in) from one another. Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in 2 different positions. The steering angle is reduced if the handlebar is mounted in the rear position.

  • Page 67: Checking The Engine Oil Level

    5W/40 10W/50 KTM recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for temperatures over 0°C, 32°F) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C, 32°F). Checking the engine oil level Check the engine oil level when the engine is warm (at least 4 bars on the temperature indi- cator light up).

  • Page 68: Refilling Engine Oil

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Refilling engine oil To refill engine oil, take off the right spoiler [1] by removing the screws [2]. Also remove the screws [3] and take off the spoiler. Unscrew the plug [4] and refill engine oil. Wait 20 seconds and check the oil level again. The quantity of oil between the MIN and MAX marks is 0.3 liter.
  • Page 69 Since many parts must be demounted for an oil change, we recommend having the engine oil changed by an authorized KTM workshop. During the guaranty period, the oil change must be performed by an authorized KTM mechanic. Otherwise, the guarantee will become void.
  • Page 70 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Remove the drain plug [6] on the oil tank and allow the oil to drain into a receptacle. Remove the screws [7] and tilt the oil return valve [8] to the side. Carefully pull the oil screen [9] out of the oil tank. Thoroughly clean the drain plugs, the cover and both oil screens.
  • Page 71 O-ring. Tighten the screws to 6 Nm. Only use original ktm oil filters. The engine can be damaged if other filters are used. Mount the oil drain plug on the oil tank with a new seal ring and tighten to 20 Nm.
  • Page 72 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Remove the right spoiler (see Refilling the engine oil) and unscrew the plug [6]. Add 2.5 liters (0.7 USgal) of fully synthetic engine oil meeting the JASO MA standard (e.g. Motorex Power Synt 4T) and remount the plug. Start the engine and allow to run warm in neutral until 4 bars on the temperature indicator light up.
