KTM 400 Owner's Handbook Manual page 4

We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a KTM motorcycle. Let us also take this
opportunity to thank you for putting your trust in us; we will not let you down.
You are now owner of a sporty and modern motorcycle which you are bound to have a great time
with provided you care for it properly. Before going for a first ride on your motorbike, you should
read this Owner's Handbook carefully, even if this takes some of your precious time, so as to
familiarize yourself with how your motorbike is to be operated and which features it offers you.
Only by doing so will you learn how you can best tune your motorcycle to your needs and how
you can avoid bodily injuries. In addition, this Owner's Handbook contains invaluable informa-
tion about motorcycle maintenance. At the time of printing, this User's Guide corresponded to the
latest state of this model family. It is, however, possible that we may have made slight modificati-
ons in the meantime due to development in our motorcycle design.
The Owner's Handbook is an essential part of the motorbike and should - when the bike is sold -
be handed over to the new owner.
Many motorcyclists have a good working knowledge of motorcycle mechanics; if this is true in
your case, you will be able to use this Owner's Handbook to carry out most of the maintenance
steps yourself. If, on the other hand, you are not very familiar with motorcycles, it might be better
2
to have a professional KTM dealer perform those steps marked by * found in the chapter entitled
"Maintenance Work on Chassis and Engine" of this manual.
Take special care to follow the recommended run in, inspection, and maintenance
intervals. Heeding these guidelines will significantly increase the life of your motorcycle. Be sure to
have any maintenance jobs performed by an authorized KTM dealer.
Address your special requests to an authorized KTM dealer who, should the need arise, will be
supported by the KTM importer.
Please do not forget to don your helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing when going for a
ride. KTM riders are responsible riders! We wish you a lot of fun when driving !
