Note
Engine failure Overheating damages the engine.
–
If the coolant temperature warning is displayed, stop immediately and take care not to endanger yourself or
other traffic participants in the process.
–
Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down.
–
Check and, if necessary, correct the coolant level on the cooling system while it is in a cooled state.
Info
If unusual noises occur while riding, stop immediately (taking care not to endanger yourself or other road
users in the process), switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road
situation, etc.).
–
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch
lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever, and
open the throttle.
Info
The gear positions can be seen in the figure. The neu-
tral or idle position is between the first and second
401950-11
gears. First gear is used for starting off or for steep
inclines.
– Only open the throttle as much as the engine can handle –
abrupt throttle grip opening increases fuel consumption.
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and
weather conditions. Particularly in bends, do not shift, and
accelerate very carefully.
–
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in
order to shift down.
–
Pull clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch
lever slowly, and open the throttle or shift again.
–
Switch off the engine if you are likely to be running at idle
speed or stationary for a long time.
–
If the malfunction indicator lamp lights up while riding, stop
immediately taking care not to endanger yourself or other road
users in the process.
–
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 considerably
lower.
–
If the engine stalls (e.g. at an intersection), just pull the clutch
lever and press the start button. The transmission must not be
shifted into neutral.
–

an authorized KTM workshop.

ble.
