2.11 Protective clothing
Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–
Wear protective clothing (helmet, boots, gloves, pants and jacket with protectors) every time you ride the vehicle. Always wear
protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal requirements.
In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.
2.12 Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parenthe-
ses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000)
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.
In some instances, a thread locker (e.g.
Loctite ® ) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2.13 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.
