IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Use definition
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of offroad use.
Info
The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous (reduced) version only.
In the derestricted version, the motorcycle must be used only on closed off property remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for trial riding and difficult offroad terrain and not for motocross.
Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care and tuning work on the engine and
chassis is properly carried out as described in the owner's manual. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to
damage and breakage of components.
Using the vehicle in difficult conditions such as on sand or very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components
such as the drive train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in
the service schedule is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much
longer service life for your motorcycle.
Warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer's
service record and in the
KTM dealer.net
; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be considered for damage
resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by KTM and have them
installed by an authorized KTM workshop. KTM accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be glad to advise
you.

Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in paren-
theses. Example: valve spring mounter (59029019000)
During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be
replaced by new parts.
Where thread lockers are used on screw connections (e.g.,
Loctite
®
), follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or maintenance work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
Transport
Note
Danger of damage
