2.6 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.
2.7 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.
2.8 Environment
Motorcycling is a wonderful sport and we naturally hope that you can enjoy it to the full. However, it can also lead to problems with the
environment and conflict with other persons. Responsible behavior in handling the motorcycle can help to avoid such problems and con-
flicts. To protect the future of motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and
respect the rights of others.
