MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

ALL SERVICING AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES DESIGNATED BY AN ASTERISK * REQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
OF A PROFESSIONAL. IN THE INTEREST OF YOUR OWN SAFETY, HAVE THESE PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT AT A AUTHORIZED
KTM WORKSHOP! AT A KTM WORKSHOP YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL RECEIVE OPTIMAL SERVICING BY SPECIALLY TRAINED
MECHANICS.
– WHEN CLEANING THE MOTORCYCLE, DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING UNIT IF POSSIBLE, OTHERWISE WATER
WILL PENETRATE THE BEARINGS, CARBURETOR, ELECTRIC CONNECTORS ETC.
– DO NOT USE TOOTHED WASHERS OR SPRING WASHERS WITH THE ENGINE FASTENING SCREWS, AS THESE WORK INTO
THE FRAME PARTS AND KEEP WORKING LOOSE. INSTEAD, USE SELF-LOCKING NUTS.
– IF YOU UNSCREW ANY SCREWED CONNECTIONS WITH SELF-LOCKING NUTS, THEY MUST BE REPLACED WHEN MOUNT-
ING. IF NO SELF-LOCKING NUTS ARE AVAILABLE, APPLY LOCTITE 243 TO THE THREAD. THE SCREWS AND NUTS MUST BE
REPLACED IF THE THREAD IS DAMAGED.
– ALL SCREWS AND NUTS MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE FIGURES USING A TORQUE WRENCH. IF SCREWS
OR NUTS ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THEY CAN BECOME LOOSE AND CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO GO OUT OF
CONTROL WHILE YOU DRIVE. TIGHTENING THE SCREWS AND NUTS TOO TIGHTLY CAN DAMAGE THE THREAD AND
COMPONENTS.
– LET YOUR MOTORCYCLE COOL DOWN BEFORE BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK IN ORDER TO AVOID GETTING BURNED.
– DISPOSE OF OIL, GREASE, FILTERS, FUELS, CLEANING AGENTS ETC. ACCORDING TO YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
– UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY USED OIL BE DISPOSED OF IN THE SEWAGE SYSTEM OR IN THE OPEN COUNTRYSIDE. 1
LITER USED OIL CONTAMINATES 1,000.000 LITERS WATER.

Removing and remounting the seat

Insert the ignition key in the seat lock and turn in a counterclockwise direc-
tion to unlock the seat. Lift the back of the seat and pull off towards the rear.
To remount, fit the nose [1] of the seat in the front, lower the back while push-
ing towards the front. Both noses [2] should fit into the frame. Insert the catch
3
bolts [3] in the lock housing and push the seat down in the back until you
hear the catch bolts snap into place.
Check whether the seat is correctly mounted.
IF NOT CORRECTLY MOUNTED, THE SEAT CAN SLIP WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND
CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR MOTORCYCLE.

Tool set

The tool set [4] and an extension piece [5] for some of the wrenches in the
tool set are located in the pocket under the seat.
