RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
35
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.
–
Clean/dry off dirty or wet brakes by careful application of the brakes.
Info
Use the hand brake lever to activate the front brakes and the foot brake pedal to activate the rear brakes.
–
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
–
Shift the transmission to lower gears according to the vehicle's speed.
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend.
–
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not overstress the engine. In
this way, you will need to apply the brakes less often and the brakes will not overheat.

Riding
Info
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop.
If the vehicle goes out of control and you fall off the vehicle, the clip of the emergency OFF switch is pulled off by the rip cord
attached to your clothing. This short-circuits the ignition circuit and the engine switches off.
–
During normal operation, you sit erect on the vehicle with both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the footrests.
–
If the choke function was activated, deactivate it after the engine has warmed up.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle, close the throttle so it is 3/4 open.
This barely reduces vehicle speed but lowers fuel consumption considerably.
–
Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle
–
abrupt pressure on the throttle increases fuel consumption.
–
Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
