Instructions for initial operation
– Make sure the work for the „pre-delivery
inspection“ was performed by your author-
ized KTM workshop. The DELIVERY CER-
TIFICATE and SERVICE MANUAL will be
handed over when you pick up your
vehicle.
– Read these operating instructions care-
fully before your first ride.
– Enter the chassis, engine and key num-
bers on page 1.
– Familiarize yourself with the operating
elements.
– Adjust the hand brake lever and foot brake
lever to your most comfortable position.
– This motorcycle is equipped with 2 cat-
alytic converters. Leaded fuel will destroy
the catalytic converters. Please use
unleaded fuel only.
– Get used to handling the motorcycle on
an empty parking lot, 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.
– 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 motor-
cycle and always use ORIGINAL KTM
SPARE PARTS. Spare parts from other
manufacturers can impair the safety of
the motorcycle.
– New wheels have a smooth surface, which
means that they must be run in to achieve
full grip. For this purpose, ride the motor-
cycle carefully at moderate speed during
the first 200 kilometers (125 miles) with
new tires, tilting the vehicle at different
angles so that all sections are properly
roughened. Tires will not display their full
grip characteristics until they are prop-
erly run in.
– Motorcycles are sensitive to changes in
the weight distribution. Read the section
on "Accessories and payload“ when car-
rying luggage.
– Pay attention to running-in procedure.
Running in the LC8 engine
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 1000 kilometers (620
miles). The vehicle must be run in at low,
changing performance level for the first 1000
km (620 miles). Do not exceed the maximum
speeds listed in the table during this time.
– Wear suitable clothing when driving a
motorcycle. Clever KTM drivers always
wear a helmet, boots, gloves and a jacket,
regardless of whether driving all day or
just for a short trip. The protective cloth-
ing should be brightly colored so that
other vehicle can see you as early as
possible. Your passenger will also need
suitable protective clothing.
– Do not drive after having consumed
alcohol.
– Drive at a moderate speed for the first few
kilometers of each trip to allow the tires
to reach the necessary operating temper-
ature. Maximum road grip is assured when
the tires are warm.
– The front and rear wheel are allowed to
be fitted only with tires that have the
same profile type.
