Instructions for the first ride
– Verify that your KTM dealer performed the PREPARATION
OF VEHICLE jobs (see Customer Service Manual).
– Before your youngster takes his or her first ride, explain how
each of the controls works and check if your youngster has
understood what you explained. We recommend to review
the entire owner’s manual with your youngster item by item,
paying particular attention to the specially marked warnings
and pointing out the danger of injury.
– Adjust the clutch lever, hand lever and foot brake pedal so
your child can operate them easily!
– To prevent injury, teach your youngster the basic riding skills
on soft ground, e.g. on a meadow or in the garden. Be sure
that there is room enough to maneuver, and that no other
riders are close.
– To ensure that your youngster gets the feel of the hand
brake, have your youngster operate the hand brake while
you push the motorcycle. Do not start the engine before
your youngster has learned to apply hand brake with appro-
priate pressure.
– To familiarize your youngster with the operation of the hand
brake let him or her practice to operate the hand brake while
you are pushing the motorcycle. Do not start the engine
before he or she is thoroughly familiar with the use of the
hand brake.
– Initially, your youngster should ride back and forth between
two persons who help the young rider to stop the motorcy-
cle. However, you should also teach your youngster how to
stop the motorcycle himself/herself.
– To improve his/her riding skills, your youngster should prac-
tise riding the motorcycle standing on the footpegs or to
riding at the slowest possible speed. Additionally, you can
arrange a series of obstacles and have your youngster drive
around them, etc.
– Pay attention to the running-in procedure.
Running in
– Even very precisely machined sections of engine components
have rougher surfaces than components which have been
sliding across one another for quite some time. Therefore,
every engine needs to be broken in. For this reason, during
its first 30 minutes the engine must not be revved up to its
performance limits.
– Apply low but changing loads for running-in.
– DO NOT DRIVE AT FULL LOAD FOR THE FIRST 30 MINUTES!
