  • Page 42: Checking The Chain Tension

    If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose wheel spindle can cause the motorcycle's handling performance to become instable and cause it to crash.

  • Page 43: Chain Maintenance

    – The chain does not have a chain joint for safety reasons. Always have the chain replaced in an authorized KTM workshop where the service technicans have the required riveting tool. – Never mount a normal chain joint.

  • Page 44: General Information On Ktm Disk Brakes

    Brake pads available in the accessory trade are often not authorized for operation of your KTM motorcycle in road traffic. The brake pads design and friction factor and therefore the braking power can deviate significantly from original KTM brake pads. If you use different brake pads than those provided with the original equipment, it cannot be warranted that they are authorized for use in road traffic.

  • Page 54: Battery

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Battery The battery is located under the seat and is maintenance-free. Maintenance-free means you will not need to check the acid level. Clean the battery termi- nals regularly and grease with acid-free grease if necessary. The charge condition and type of charge are very important for the battery's service life.

  • Page 55: Charging The Battery

    To charge the battery while mounted, always use the KTM battery charger (Item no. 58429074000) to ensure that the electric system is not damaged by excess voltage. Always remove the battery if using other battery chargers! You can also use this charging device to test the off-load voltage and startability of the battery and generator.

  • Page 56: Main Fuse

    If a new fuse that has just been set in gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it inspected by a KTM dealer. The fuse capacity is 30 Ampere. – Under no circumstances is a stronger fuse allowed to be set in or a fuse allowed to be „repaired“.

  • Page 57: Fuses For Individual Power Consumers

  • Page 61: Cooling System

    If the fan is not working, and there appears to be sufficient cool- ing liquid, the only thing you can do is to drive on to your nearest authorized KTM work- shop at the least possible engine load.
  • Page 62 » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE A mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water is used as the cooling liquid. How- ever, the anti-freeze protection must be at least -25° C (-13° F). Aside from antifreezing pro- tection, this mixture also provides great corrosion protection which is why it must not be replaced by pure water.

  • Page 63: Checking The Cooling Liquid Level In The Compensating Tank

    – Only continue to drive if there is enough cooling liquid in the system. Contact an author- ized KTM workshop to have the error eliminated. You will damage the engine if you con- tinue to drive when the cooling liquid temperature warning lamp is on.

  • Page 64: Bleeding The Cooling System

    » MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE Bleeding the cooling system To completely bleed the cooling system, the motorcycle must be raised approx. 50 cm (20 in) in the front.
