2.7 Protective clothing
Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–
Wear appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as trousers and a jacket with protectors on all rides.
–
Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations.
In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.
2.8 Work rules
Special tools are necessary for some of the work. These are not included with the vehicle and can be ordered under the number in paren-
theses. Ex: valve spring mounter (59029019000)
During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced
by new parts.
Where thread lockers are used on screw connections (e.g.,
Loctite ® ), follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.
Parts that you want to reuse following repairs and servicing should be cleaned and checked for damage and wear. Change damaged or
worn parts.
Following repairs or servicing, the vehicle must be checked for roadworthiness.
2.9 Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcycle
sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the
respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that per-
tain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.
