–
When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear.
–
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch lever, and open the throttle.
Info
You can see the positions of the 6 forward gears in the figure. The idle position
is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting off or for
steep inclines.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back
so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
–
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions. Par-
ticularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
–
To shift down, brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time.
–
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and
open the throttle or shift again.
–
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
–
Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
–
If the oil pressure warning lamp
lights up during a trip, stop immediately and switch
off the engine. Contact an authorized KTM workshop.
–
If the engine warning lamp
lights up during a trip, please contact an authorized KTM
workshop as soon as possible.
