We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a KTM motorcycle.
You are now the owner of a state-of-the-art sport motorcycle that guarantees to bring you lots of fun and
enjoyment, provided that you clean and maintain it appropriately.
Before you go for your first ride, be sure
to read this manual carefully and thoroughly in order to familiarize yourself with how to operate your new
motorcycle and with its characteristics, even if this means that you will have to dedicate some of your
valuable time to this task. Only by doing so will you learn how to tune your motorcycle to your specific
needs and how to protect yourself against injury. Besides, this manual contains important information on
motorcycle maintenance.
At the time this manual was typeset, it was up-to-date with the latest state of
this production series. It cannot be completely ruled out, however, that minor discrepancies may exist
resulting from further design upgrades of these motorcycles.This manual is an important part of your motor-
cycle and should be passed on to any subsequent owner in case you decide to sell it.
We expressly point out that work marked with an asterisk in the chapter "Maintenance work on the chas-
sis and engine" must be performed. If maintenance work should become necessary during a competition
it should be performed by a trained mechanic. KTM strongly recommends that all service work to your
KTM should be performed by a qualified KTM dealer.
For your own safety, use KTM-approved parts and accessories only. KTM is not liable for damage that
arises in connection with the use of other products.
Take special care to follow the recommended run in, inspection, and maintenance intervals. Heeding
these guidelines will significantly increase the life of your motorcycle. To ensure that all work to your KTM
is performed properly and to avoid warranty conflicts, KTM recommends that you always have your KTM
serviced by a recognized and qualified KTM dealer.
Motorcycle driving is a wonderful sport and we hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the full. It may,
however, involve potential problems for the environment or lead to conflicts with others. These problems
or conflicts can be avoided if the motorcycle is used responsibly. To safeguard the future of motorcycle
sports, make sure that you use the motorcycle in accordance with the law, show that you are environmen-
tally conscious and respect the rights of others.
We wish you a lot of fun when driving !
