8.3

Starting up

Info
The plug-in stand must be removed before beginning to ride.
Open the throttle carefully.
8.4

Riding

Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine, and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
If the choke function was activated, deactivate it after the engine has warmed up.
When you reach maximum speed after fully opening the throttle, turn back the throttle to about ¾ of its range. The speed hardly
drops, but the fuel consumption falls considerably.
Your child should always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abruptly opening the throttle increases fuel
consumption.
Your child should switch off the engine if he or she expects to be standing for a long time.
Guideline
≥ 2 min
