GENERAL TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE
Instructions for initial operation
– Verify that your KTM dealer performed the PREPARATION
OF VEHICLE jobs (see Customer Service Manual).
– Read these operating instructions carefully before your first
ride.
– Enter the chassis, engine and key numbers on page 1.
– Familiarize yourself with the operating elements.
– Adjust the hand brake lever and foot brake lever to your
most comfortable position.
– Get used to handling the motorcycle on an empty parking
lot or open space, 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
abitily and experience.
– Hold the handlebars with both hands and leave your feet on
the foot rests while driving.
– Remove your foot from the foot brake lever when you are
not braking. If the foot brake lever is not released the brake
pads rub continuously and the braking system is
overheated.
– 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 with protective clothing and helmet.
– Pay attention to running-in procedure.
Running in the LC4 models
Even very precisely machined sections of engine components
have rougher surfaces than components which have been
sliding against one another for quite some time. Therefore,
every engine needs to be broken in. For this reason, during its
first 1000 kilometers (620 miles) the engine must not be
revved up to its performance limits. 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 (roads, easy off-road
terrain). 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.
