Engine oil
Automobile engine oil used to be used for four-stroke motorcycles
before there were separate motorcycle specifications. Different technical
developments made it necessary to have a separate specification for
four-stroke motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA standard. Whereas car
engines require long changing intervals, motorcycle engines require a
higher power output at higher speeds. Most motorcycle engines also use
the same oil to lubricate the transmission and the clutch. The JASO MA
standard responds to these special requirements.
Only use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the JASO MA quality
requirements (see information on the can).
KTM recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for
temperatures over 0°C) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C).
– Fill approx. 2.7 liters of engine oil into the oil tank. The oil tank will be
filled up to the top.
– Start the engine and allow to idle for about one minute without
accelerating.
– Switch off the engine and pour another 0.3 liters into the oil tank.
Check the oil system for leakage.
!
CAUTION
!
D
O NOT REV UP THE ENGINE RIGHT AFTER CHANGING THE OIL SINCE ALL OF THE
LUBRICATING POINTS WILL NOT BE SUPPLIED WITH ENOUGH OIL YET
.
Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level when the engine is warm (at least 4 bars on
the temperature indicator will light up). Place the motorcycle on a level
surface (not on the side stand).
Turn off the engine, unscrew the oil dipstick
3
and wipe off with a
cloth. Screw the oil dipstick
all the way back in
and back out again. The
oil level should fall between the lower end of the oil dipstick (MIN) and
the MAX mark.
The oil capacity between the MIN and MAX mark is 0.5 liters. Add more
engine oil if necessary and check the engine for leakage.
