Info

ments of the fuel evaporate after a long time of standing.
If the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.

Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand. ( p. 41)
The motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week
–
Empty the carburetor float chamber.
–
Turn the knurled screw on the fuel tap all the way counterclockwise.
Fuel can flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.

Info

KTM workshop.
–
If the choke function has been activated, deactivate it after the engine has warmed up.
–
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.

Your child should always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle
–
abruptly opening the
throttle increases fuel consumption.

Your child should switch off the engine if prolonged operation at idle speed or while stationary is imminent.
