– Tire pressure should be checked regularly on a “cold” tire. Proper pres-
sure ensures optimum driving comfort and extends the life of your tires.

Checking spoke tension
The correct spoke tension is very important for the stability of the wheels
and thus for riding safety. A loose spoke causes the wheel to become
unbalanced and before long other spokes will have come loose. Check
spoke tension, especially on a new motorcycle, in regular intervals. For
checking, tap on each spoke with the blade of a screw driver (see illustra-
tion). A clear tone must be the result. Dull tones indicate loose spokes. If
necessary, have the spokes retightened and the wheel centered by a KTM
dealer.
Cooling system
Cooling liquid is circulated by a water pump
1
located in the engine.
When the engine is cold the cooling liquid circulates only through the
cylinder and the cylinder head. After the engine has reached its operating
temperature (about 70° C, 158° F), the thermostat
2
opens and the coo-
ling liquid is also pumped through both aluminum radiators.
Air blowing in through the radiators cools the cooling liquid. The slower
the speed of the motorcycle, the less the cooling liquid is cooled down.
Dirty radiator fins also reduce the cooling efficiency.
If little or no air blows through the radiators, for example when riding
through slow traffic or waiting at traffic lights, the cooling liquid tempera-
ture will rise. If the cooling liquid temperature rises to 85° C (185° F), the
fan on the left radiator will switch on. This fan will provide additional air
circulation through the radiator thereby preventing the cooling system
from overheating.
