DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
»
– AFTER FALLING WITH THE MOTORCYCLE, CHECK ALL ITS FUNC-
TIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING IT AGAIN.
– A TWISTED HANDLEBAR MUST ALWAYS BE REPLACED. DO NOT
ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR, IT WILL LOSE STABILITY.
– HIGH RPM RATES WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD HAVE AN ADVERSE
EFFECT ON THE LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE. WE RECOMMEND YOU RUN
THE ENGINE IN A MODERATE RPM RANGE FOR A FEW MILES GIV-
ING IT A CHANCE TO WARM UP. AFTER THAT NO FURTHER PRE-
CAUTIONS IN THIS RESPECT NEED TO BE TAKEN.
– NEVER HAVE THE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN WHEN CHANGING DOWN
TO A LOWER GEAR. THE ENGINE WILL OVERREV, DAMAGING THE
VALVES. IN ADDITION, THE REAR WHEEL WILL BLOCK SO THAT THE
MOTORCYCLE CAN EASILY GET OUT OF CONTROL.
– IF THE ENGINE RUNS WITHOUT THROTTLE DURING LONGER
DOWNHILL TRAVEL, THE ENGINE SHOULD BE ACCELERATED OCCA-
SIONALLY TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SUPPLIED WITH SUFFICIENT
LUBRICANT WHICH IS MIXED IN THE FUEL.
– IN THE EVENT THAT, WHILE RIDING ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE, YOU
NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL OPERATION-RELATED NOISE, STOP IMME-
DIATELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED
KTM DEALER.
Braking
Turn off the gas and apply the hand and foot brakes at the same
time. When driving on sandy, wet or slippery ground, use mainly
the rear wheel brake. Always brake with feeling, blocking wheels
can cause you to skid or fall. Also change down to lower gears depend-
ing on your speed.
– IN CASE OF RAIN, AFTER WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE, AFTER
RIDES THROUGH WATER AND IN CASE OF RIDES ON WET OFF-ROAD
TRACKS, HUMID OR DIRTY BRAKE DISCS CAN DELAY THE BRAK-
ING EFFECT. THE BRAKES MUST BE PULLED UNTIL THEY ARE DRY
OR CLEAN.
– RIDES ON SALT-STREWED OR DIRTY ROADS CAN ALSO DELAY THE
BRAKING EFFECT. THE BRAKES MUST BE PULLED UNTIL THEY ARE
CLEAN.
– DIRTY BRAKE DISCS CAUSE INCREASED TEAR OF BRAKE PADS AND
BRAKE DISCS.
– WHEN YOU BRAKE, THE BRAKE DISCS, BRAKE PADS, BRAKE
CALIPER AND BRAKE FLUID HEAT UP. THE HOTTER THESE PARTS
GET, THE WEAKER THE BREAKING EFFECT. IN EXTREME CASES,
THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM CAN FAIL.
– IF THE RESISTANCE IN THE HAND BRAKE LEVER OR FOOT BRAKE
PEDAL FEELS “SPONGY” (TOO MUCH GIVE), THIS IS AN INDICA-
TION THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. DON’T
RIDE YOUR MOTORCYCLE ANYMORE WITHOUT FIRST HAVING THE
BRAKE SYSTEM LOOKED OVER BY A KTM DEALER.
Stopping and parking
Close the throttle and apply the hand and foot brake simultane-
ously. Be especially careful when you apply the brakes on sandy,
wet or slick surfaces. Always apply the brakes intuitively, locked
wheels can cause the bike to skid or crash. Shift down to a lower
gear to match your speed. Always apply the brakes before you enter
a curve.
MOTORCYCLE ENGINES PRODUCE A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHILE
RUNNING. THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PIPE, MUFFLER, BRAKE ROTORS,
AND SHOCK ABSORBERS CAN BECOME VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH ANY
OF THESE PARTS AFTER STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE, AND TAKE
CARE TO PARK IT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT LIKELY TO TOUCH
IT AND GET BURNED.
– CLOSE THE FUEL TAP WHEN LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE. OTHERWISE
THE CARBURETOR MAY GET FLOODED AND FUEL WILL ENTER
THE ENGINE.
– NEVER PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE IN PLACES WHERE THERE EXIST
FIRE HAZARDS DUE TO DRY GRASS OR OTHER EASILY FLAMMA-
BLE MATERIALS.
– THE SIDE STAND IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE
MOTORCYCLE. IF YOU GET ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE AND THUS PUT
ADDITIONAL WEIGHT ON THE MOTORCYCLE, THE SIDE STAND OR
THE FRAME CAN BE DAMAGED OR THE MOTORCYCLE MAY FALL
ON THE SIDE.
Refueling, fuel
125-300: Unleaded premium gasoline RON 95 mixed with high
grade two stroke oil. Mixture ratio 1:40 - 1:60
Fuel and engine oil should only be mixed immediately before use.
KTM recommends Motorex Cross Power 2T.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS. EXTREME CAU-
TION SHOULD BE USED WHEN HANDLING GASOLINE. DO NOT REFUEL
THE MOTORCYCLE NEAR OPEN FLAMES OR BURNING CIGARETTES.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE BEFORE REFUELING. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO SPILL GASOLINE ON THE ENGINE OR EXHAUST PIPE WHILE
THE ENGINE IS HOT. WIPE UP SPILLS PROMPTLY. IF GASOLINE IS SWAL-
LOWED OR SPLASHED IN THE EYES, SEEK A DOCTOR’S ADVICE
IMMEDIATELY.
– ONLY USE PREMIUM-GRADE GASOLINE ROZ 98 RESPECTIVELY 95
MIXED WITH HIGH-GRADE TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL. OTHER TYPES
OF GASOLINE CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
– DO NOT USE PREMIXED TWO-STROKE OILS, OILS FOR OUTBOARD
ENGINES OR NORMAL ENGINE OIL TO PREPARE THE MIXTURE.
– DO NOT USE GASOLINE AND OIL MIXTURES THAT ARE OLDER
THAN ONE WEEK. THE LUBRICATION PROPERTIES OF SOME TWO-
STROKE OILS CAN DETERIORATE VERY RAPIDLY.
– ONLY USE KNOWN BRANDS OF HIGH-GRADE 2-STROKE ENGINE
OIL (I.E. MOTOREX CROSS POWER 2T).
– NEVER MIX SYNTHETIC OILS AND MINERAL OILS.
– NOT ENOUGH OIL OR LOW-GRADE OIL CAN CAUSE EROSION OF
THE PISTON. WHEN USING TOO MUCH OIL, THE ENGINE MAY
START SMOKING AND FOUL THE SPARK PLUG.
– IF YOUR MOTORCYCLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CON-
VERTER, ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT LEADED FUEL WILL DESTROY
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
– FUEL EXPANDS WHEN ITS TEMPERATURE RISES. THEREFORE DO
NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE TOP. (SEE FIG.)
