Oil, oil filter and screen filter change, bleeding of the oil system *

NOTE: The frame breast pipe is integrated into the oil circuit for the sake of
more effectively cooling the motor oil. It is thus important when changing the
oil to also remove the fine screen filter, to drain the motor oil from the breast
pipe and to de-aerate the oil system. If the oil system is not bled at all or bled
insufficiently, the bearings of the engine will not get enough lubrication,
which in turn may result in engine failure.
Therefore, we recommend that you have the engine oil changed by your
authorized KTM mechanic. During the guaranty period, the oil change must
be performed by an authorized KTM mechanic. Otherwise, the guarantee will
become void.
The engine oil change is to be carried out when the engine is still warm.
AN ENGINE HAVING BEEN RUN WARM, AND THE ENGINE OIL IN IT IS VERY HOT
– DO NOT BURN YOURSELF.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface. Remove the plugs [1] and [2],
and drain oil into a container.
PLUG [A] MUST NOT BE REMOVED, THIS IS PART OF THE BY-PASS VALVE.
Remove the screws and the cover [3]. Loosen the fine screen filter [4] with
an oil filter wrench and then screw it off by hand.
The screw [5] must be removed to allow the motor oil to flow out of the frame
breast pipe.
Replace the oil filter when changing the engine oil. Press the foot brake pedal
and place a screwdriver or similar between foot brake pedal and
stopper roll so that the oil filter cover is more accessible. Remove banjo bolt
[8] and the three screws. Remove oil filter cover [9] and oil filter. Clean the
filter case, oil filter cover and sealing areas. Make sure the oil duct in the oil
filter cover is not clogged.
Place the new oil filter [10] on the connection in the oil filter cover and mount
together with a new seal [11]. Tighten the 3 screws in the filter cover to 5
Nm. Tighten the hollow screw with seals and tighten to 15 Nm.
Clean the plugs thoroughly with petroleum and compressed air in order to
remove any metal filings. After the oil has drained completely, clean the seal-
ing areas and remount the plugs together with their gaskets. Tighten plug [1]
with 30 Nm and plug [2] with 20 Nm. Tighten the screw [5] with 10 Nm.
Clean sealing surfaces on the frame breast pipe [6], fill new fine screen fil-
ter with engine oil, and oil rubber gasket [7]. Replace fine screen filter and
screw it back in place, your bare hand will do.
Remove oil dipstick on the clutch cover, fill with 1.3 litre (0.34 US gallons)
engine oil and attach plug again.
– USE ONLY ORIGINAL KTM FINE SCREEN FILTERS. USING ANOTHER FILTER
BRAND CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
– IF THE ENGINE OIL HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM THE FRONT PIPE OF THE
FRAME, YOU MUST BLEED THE OIL SYSTEM!
