Checking and adjusting the choke cable play *
The choke cable must have a play of approx. 3 mm (0.12 in) at all times. To
check the play, push back the protection cover
1
. It should be possible to
lift the cable approx. 3 mm away from the adjusting screw
2
.
If necessary, loosen the counter nut
3
, turn the adjusting screw as needed,
tighten the counter nut again and slide on the protection cover.

Adjusting the engine idle speed
The idle speed should be 1400/min when the engine is warm. The idle
speed can be adjusted with the adjusting knurl
4
near the left frame tube.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the idle speed, turning in a
counterclockwise direction will reduce the idle speed.
Engine oil
Automobile engine oil used to be used for four-stroke motorcycles before
there were separate motorcycle specifications. Different technical develop-
ments 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 require-
ments (see information on the can).
KTM recommends Motorex Power Synt 4T in the 10W/50 viscosity (for
temperatures over 0°C, 32°F) or 5W/40 (for temperatures under 0°C,
32°F).
Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level when the engine is warm (at least 4 bars on the
temperature indicator light up). Allow the warm engine to run idle for
approx. 1 minute and motorcycle place the motorcycle on a level surface
(not on the side stand).
Turn off the engine, unscrew the oil dipstick
5
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 (0.13 USgal).
Add more engine oil if necessary and check the engine for leakage.
