MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
»
Fill 0.6 liters (0.16 US gallons) of engine oil into the can and remove the
plug
[1]
next to the steering head. Introduce the plastic hose into the vent
hole
[A]
, (see page 30) and fill 0.6 liters (0.16 US gallons) of engine oil into
the frame’s front tube. Remove plastic hose, start engine, and let it idle
(approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes at the hole
[A]
. As soon as oil begins
to leak out, switch off the engine, mount the plug and gasket and tighten to
25 Nm.
Let the motor run until it warms. Check the oil drain plugs and the fine screen
filter to make sure they are properly sealed. Check the level of the motor oil.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface (main stand) and wait for 5
minutes.Checking the oil level, he should be between the two marks on the
inspection glass, however, it must never rise above the MAX mark. Otherwise,
engine oil would get into the air filter box by way of the engine venting sys-
tem. Add engine oil, if necessary.
– INSUFFICIENT OIL OR POOR QUALITY OIL RESULTS IN PREMATURE WEAR OF
THE ENGINE.
– CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD RESULTS IN
A FALSE READING ON THE OIL DIPSTICK AND THEREFORE AN INCORRECT OIL
LEVEL.
– DO NOT OVERFILL THE ENGINE CASE.
– DO NOT UNDERFILL THE ENGINE CASE.
Afterwards check the entire oil system and motor to make sure they are pro-
perly sealed.
Note: Dispose of used oil properly! Under no circumstances may used oil be
disposed of in the sewage system or in the open countryside. 1 liter (0.264
US gallons) oil contaminates 1.000.000 liter (264.000 US gallons) water.
Fuses
The main fuse
[2]
(20 amperes) is easily accessible on the left frame tube.
The fuse box
[3]
for power consumers is located on the right in the cockpit
fairing.
Replace a blown fuse only with an equivalent one. If a new fuse that has just
been set in gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it
inspected by a KTM dealer.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS A STRONGER FUSE ALLOWED TO BE SET IN OR
A FUSE ALLOWED TO BE „REPAIRED“. AN INEXPERT TREATMENT COULD DAMAGE
THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!
