– Adjust the hand brake lever and the foot brake pedal to the
most comfortable positions for you.
– Get used to handling the motorcycle on an empty car park,
before starting on a longer drive. Also try to drive as slowly
as possible and in standing position, to improve your feeling
for the vehicle.
– Do not drive along off-road tracks which go beyond your
ability and experience.
– Hold the handlebar with both hands and leave your feet on
the foot rests while driving.
– Remove your foot from the foot brake pedal when you are
not braking. If the foot brake pedal is not released the brake
pads rub continuously and the braking system is
overheated.
– You may only be accompanied by a passenger if your
motorcycle is fitted and registered for such purposes. The
passenger must hold tight to the brackets or hold on to the
driver during the drive, with his feet on the passenger foot
rests.
– Do not make any alterations to the motorcycle and always
use ORIGINAL KTM SPARE PARTS. Spare parts from other
manufacturers can impair the safety of the motorcycle.
– Motorcycles are sensitive to alterations in the distribution of
weight. If you are taking luggage with you, this should be
secured as close as possible to the middle of the vehicle;
distribute the weight evenly between the front and rear
wheel. Never exceed the maximum permissible laden
weight and the axle weights. The maximum permissible
laden weight is made up of the following components:
– Motorcycle ready for operation and tank full
– Luggage
– Driver and passenger with protective clothing and helmet.
– Pay attention to running in instructions.
Running in the LC4 models
Even finely machined surfaces of engine parts have rougher
surfaces than parts that slide on each other for a long time.
Therefore, every engine must be run in. For this reason, do not
demand maximum performance from the engine for the first
100 kilometers. The vehicle must be run in at low, changing
performance level for the first 1000 KM (620 miles). The
engine speed of 4800 r.p.m. must not be exceeded during the
first 1000 kilometers (620 miles). During this break-in time,
you should ride your motorcycle in different conditions. The
following table shows you the maximum velocity values in the
different gears at 4800 r.p.m. as based on the rear wheel
transmission ratio of your motorcycle.
Exceeding the above listed rotations as well as pushing high
rpm when the engine is cold will have an adverse effect on the
life of your engine.

Check the following before each start
When you start off, the motorcycle must be in a perfect tech-
nical condition. For safety reasons, you should make a habit of
performing an overall check of your motorcycle before each
start.
The following checks should be performed:
1 CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Insufficient oil results in premature wear and consequently
to engine damage.
2 FUEL
Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank; when closing
the filler cap.
3 CHAIN
A loose chain can fall off; an extremely worn chain can tear,
and insufficient lubrication can result in unnecessary wear to
the chain and rear sprockets.
4 TIRES
Check for damaged tires. Tires showing cuts or dents must
be replaced. The tread depth must comply with the legal
regulations. Also check the air pressure. Insufficient tread
and incorrect air pressure reduce the driving performance.
5 BRAKES
Check correct functioning of the braking system. Check for
sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir. The reservoirs have
been designed in such a way that brake fluid does not need
to be refilled even when the brake pads are worn. If the
level of brake fluid falls below the minimum value, this indi-
cates a leak in the braking system or completely worn out
brake pads. Arrange for the braking system to be checked
by a KTM specialist garage, as complete failure of the
braking system can be expected.
Also check the state of the brake hoses and the thickness of
the brake linings.
Check free travel at hand brake lever and foot brake pedal.
6 CABLES
Check correct setting and easy running of all control cables.
7 COOLING LIQUID
Check the level of cooling liquid when the engine is cold.
8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Check headlight, parking light, tail light, brake light,
flashers, indicator lamps and horn for faultless operation.
9 LUGGAGE
If you are taking luggage with you, check that this is
securely fastened.
