Use definition (250 XCF‑W USA)
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles com-
ply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.
Info
The motorcycle must be used only on secluded property remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for the predominant motocross use.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described
in the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and break-
age of components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components such as
the transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in
the service schedule is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
Warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed in the customer's ser-
vice record, since otherwise no warranty claims will be recognized. No warranty claims can be considered for damage resulting from
manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that have been approved and/or recommended by KTM and have
them installed by an authorized KTM workshop. KTM accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.
Some spare parts and accessories are specified in brackets in the respective descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be happy to advise
you.
You will find the current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle on the KTM website.
