IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use definition
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and constructed to meet the normal demands of regular road operation but not for use on race
courses or offroad.
Info
The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous version only.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described in
the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of
components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet roads can lead to above-average wear of components such as the
transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in the ser-
vice schedule is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
Warranty
The work prescribed in the service plan must only be carried out in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed in the service record; oth-
erwise all warranty claims will be disregarded. No warranty claim can be met for damage resulting from manipulation and/or other changes
to the vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
