–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road
situation, etc.).
–
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch
lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever, and
open the throttle.
Info
The gear positions can be seen 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 considerably
lower.
–
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and
weather conditions. Particularly in bends, do not shift, and
accelerate very carefully.
–
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in
order to shift down.
–
Pull 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 clutch lever
and press the start button/emergency OFF switch into the
lower position . The transmission must not be shifted into
neutral.
–
Switch off the engine if you are likely to be running at idle
speed or stationary 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 malfunction indicator lamp
lights up during a trip,
please contact an authorized KTM workshop as soon as possi-
ble.
–
If the general warning lamp
lights up during a trip, the dis-
play shows a message for 10 seconds.
Info
Very important messages are stored in the
Warning
menu.
