Important Information - KTM 250 SX-F EU Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use definition
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 may only be used in closed off areas remote from public road traffic.
Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care and tuning work on the engine and
chassis is properly carried out as described in the owner's manual. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to
damage and breakage of components.
Using the vehicle in difficult conditions such as on sand or very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components
such as the drive 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 and service 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 by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer's
service record and in the KTM dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. 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 are 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.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be glad to advise
you.
The current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle can be found on the KTM website.
