At deli- very, KTM's mini motorcycles are set to accommodate a driver weighing 25 - 30 kg (wearing full protective clothing). If your child's weight exceeds or falls short of this range, you will need to adjust the spring preload for the telescopic fork and shock absorber accordingly.
Telescopic fork maintenance * The telescopic fork must be serviced at least once a year. To service the fork, proceed as follows: Prop up the motorcycle under the frame to take the load off the front wheel. Disassemble the front wheel, remove screw from the brake caliper and unscrew holding clamp.
Cleaning the dust scrabbers of the telescopic fork The dust-protection bellows are to remove dust and coarse dirt particles from the fork tube. However, after some time, dirt may also get in behind the dust-protection bellows. If this dirt is not removed, the oil sealing rings located behind it may start to leak.
In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately. BRAKE FLUID: KTM fills the brake system with ”Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5.1”, one of the best brake fluids currently available. We recommend that you continue to use it. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether and of an amber color.
