MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
»
Clean the plugs thoroughly with petroleum and compressed air in order to
remove any metal filings. After the oil has drained completely, clean the seal-
ing areas and remount the plugs together with their gaskets. Tighten plug
[13]
with 30 Nm and plug
[14]
with 20 Nm (see page 35). Tighten the screw
[16]
with 10 Nm. Clean sealing surfaces on the frame breast pipe
[17]
, fill new
fine screen filter with engine oil, and oil rubber gasket
[18]
. Replace fine screen
filter and screw it back in place, your bare hand will do.
Remove screw connection on the clutch cover, fill with 1.3 litre engine oil
and attach plug again.
– USE ONLY ORIGINAL KTM FINE SCREEN FILTERS. USING ANOTHER FILTER
BRAND CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
– IF THE ENGINE OIL HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM THE FRONT PIPE OF THE
FRAME, YOU MUST BLEED THE OIL SYSTEM !
BLEEDING THE OIL SYSTEM
To facilitate bleeding of the oil system, we have added a hose connection piece
and a plastic hose to the set of tools. Take an empty oil can (1 liter) and drill
a 7 mm-diameter hole into the lid. Screw the hose connection piece into the
lid from the outside, and secure it from the inside with the M8 hexagon nut.
Slip the plastic hose onto the hose connection piece, and you will have your
filling tool.
Fill 0.6 liters of engine oil into the can and remove the plug
[23]
next to the
steering head. Introduce the plastic hose into the vent hole
[B]
, and fill 0.6
liters of engine oil into the frame’s front tube. Remove plastic hose, start engine,
and let it idle (approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes at the hole
[B]
.
As soon as oil starts to escape, turn off the engine, and mount the plug together
with the gasket and tighten to 25 Nm.
Allow the engine to warm up, check the engine oil level and correct if
necessary.
Afterwards, check the entire oil system for leakage.
Mount the engine guard.
Place the new oil filter
[21]
on the connection in the oil filter cover and mount
together with a new seal
[22]
. Tighten the 3 screws in the filter cover to
5 Nm. Tighten the hollow screw with seals and tighten to 15 Nm.
