Introduction
Now you own a modern motorcycle that you and your youngster will certainly enjoy,
provided that you service and maintain it properly. This manual contains important
information on the operation and maintenance of your new KTM motorcycle. It went
to press describing your model’s latest state of development. Nevertheless, the descrip-
tions may deviate slightly from the current design as our motorcycles are permanently
improved.The Owner's Manual is an integral part of the motorcycle and must be han-
ded over to the new owner when the motorcycle is sold.
We expressly point out that work marked with an asterisk in the chapter "Maintenance
work on the chassis and engine" must be performed by a KTM workshop. If mainten-
ance work should become necessary during a competition, it must be performed by a
trained mechanic.
Please strictly observe the prescribed running-in periods and inspection and maintenan-
ce intervals. Compliance with these instructions will significantly prolong the life of your
motorcycle.
Be sure to have the maintenance work carried out by a KTM workshop to avoid losing
your right to claim under the warranty.
For the safety of your child, only use spare parts and accessories approved by KTM.
KTM shall not assume any liability for other products or consequential damage resul-
ting from the use of such products.
When special needs arise, please contact a KTM dealer, who will seek the assistance of
the KTM importer if necessary.
PARENTS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND that the safety of their youngsters always depends
on the efforts made by the parents to ensure that the motorcycle is kept in good wor-
king order and only used on safe terrains. Nevertheless, driving the motorcycle, like dri-
ving any other vehicle, involves a potential risk. Therefore, please make sure that all fun-
damental precautions are taken. Please also read the „INFORMATION ON SAFE DRI-
VING FOR PARENTS“ on page 4.
Riding an off-highway motorcycle is a wonderful form of outdoor recreation and we
certainly hope that you and your youngsters will enjoy it to the full. However, this
enjoyable outdoor activity can cause environmental problems or lead to conflicts with
other people. Responsible use of the motorcycle will prevent such problems and con-
flicts. You can contribute to securing the future of motorcycling by making sure that you
and your youngsters only use the motorcycle within the limits established by the appli-
cable laws, making environmental protection one of your top priorities and never viola-
ting other people’s rights.
In this spirit, we hope that you and your youngsters will always safely enjoy your
motorcycle!
