MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
152
Warning
Danger of accidents Uncontrollable handling characteristics due to non-approved and/or non-recommended tires/wheels.
–
Only tires/wheels approved by KTM and with the corresponding speed index should be used.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth roll surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire roll surface must be roughened in
the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate driving at alternating angles. The full grip is not reached until the vehicle
has been run in.
Info
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an important impact on the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.
