turer.
2.6 Safe operation
Danger
Danger of accidents A rider who is not fit to ride poses a danger to him or herself and others.
–Do not operate the vehicle if you are not fit to ride due to alcohol, drugs or medication.
–Do not operate the vehicle if you are physically or mentally impaired.
Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and death.
–Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation when running the engine.
–Use an effective exhaust extraction system when starting or running the engine in an enclosed space.
Warning
Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
–Do not touch any parts such as the exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, or brake system before the vehicle parts
have cooled down.
–Let the vehicle parts cool down before you perform any work on the vehicle.
Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a safe and environmentally
compatible manner.
An appropriate driver's license is needed to ride the vehicle on public roads.
Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized KTM workshop.
Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle.
2 SAFETY ADVICE 12
2.7 Protective clothing
Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–Wear appropriate protective clothing such as helmet, boots, gloves as well as trousers and a jacket with protectors on all rides.
–Always wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal regulations.
In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.
2.8 Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parenthe-
ses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000)
During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced
by new parts.
In some instances, a thread locker (e.g. Loctite®) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2.9 Environment
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcycle
sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the
respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that per-
tain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.
2 SAFETY ADVICE 13
2.10 Owner's Manual
It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Owner's Manual contains use-
ful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and maintain your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the
vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury.
Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an authorized KTM dealer.
The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.
3 IMPORTANT NOTES 14
3.1 Manufacturer and implied warranty
The work specified in the service schedule may only be performed in an authorized KTM workshop and must be recorded in both the
Service & Warranty Booklet and in KTM Dealer.net, otherwise any warranty coverage will become void. Damage or secondary damage caused
by tampering with and/or conversions on the vehicle are not covered by the warranty.
Additional information on the manufacturer or implied warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the Service & Warranty Book-
let.
3.2 Operating and auxiliary substances
Warning
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
–Do not allow fuel to enter the groundwater, the soil, or the sewage system.
Use operating and auxiliary substances (such as fuel and lubricants) as specified in the Owner's Manual.
3.3 Spare parts, accessories
For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by KTM and have them installed
by an authorized KTM workshop. KTM accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to
advise you.
The current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle can be found on the KTM website.
International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com
3 IMPORTANT NOTES 15
3.4 Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chassis
is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage
and breakage of components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such in rain, high heat or with a heavy load, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of
components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace
parts before the next scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much
longer service life for your motorcycle.
3.5 Figures
The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.
In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not always necessary to disassem-
ble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instructions in the text.
3.6 Customer service
Your authorized KTM dealer will be happy to answer any questions you may have on your vehicle and KTM.

13 BRAKE SYSTEM 104
13.1 Antilock braking system (ABS)
H01908-10
ABS unit 1, which consists of a hydraulic unit, ABS control unit, and return pump, is
installed under the fuel tank. One wheel speed sensor 2is located in each case on the
front and the rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the function of the ABS.
–Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake applied away from public
road traffic if the ABS is switched off.
–Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
–Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been approved and recom-
mended by KTM.
–Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.
–Maintain the specified tire air pressure.
–Service work and repairs must be performed professionally. (Your authorized
KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Warning
Voiding of the government approval for road use and the insurance coverage If the
ABS is switched off completely, the vehicle's approval for road use is invalidated.
–Only operate the vehicle in closed-off areas remote from public road traffic if the
ABS is switched off completely.
The ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead
without the influence of lateral forces.
13 BRAKE SYSTEM 105
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limi-
tations.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for exam-
ple with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep
descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
–Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.
The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear brakes). During nor-
mal operation, the brake system operates like a conventional brake system without ABS.
When the ABS control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulating
the brake pressure. The regulating process causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot
brake levers.
The ABS indicator lamp 3must light up after the ignition is switched on and go out after
starting off. If it does not go out after starting off or if it lights up while riding, this indi-
cates a fault in the ABS system. In this case, the ABS is no longer enabled and the wheels
may lock during braking. The brake system itself stays functional; only ABS control is not
available.
The ABS indicator lamp may also light up if the rotating speeds of the front and rear wheels
differ greatly under extreme riding conditions, for example when making "wheelies" or if the
rear wheel spins. This causes the ABS to switch off.
To reactivate the ABS, the vehicle must be stopped and the ignition switched off. The ABS
is reactivated when the vehicle is switched on again. The ABS indicator lamp goes out
when you start off.
13.2 Checking the brake discs
Warning
Danger of accidents Worn-out brake discs reduce the braking effect.

The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This reduces
the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the battery.
The battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be checked.

16 COOLING SYSTEM 142
16.1 Cooling system
F00762-10
Water pump 1in the engine ensures forced circulation of the coolant.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve in
radiator cap 2. Heat expansion causes excess coolant to flow into compensating tank 3.
When the temperature falls, this surplus coolant is sucked back into the cooling system.
This ensures that operating the vehicle at the specified coolant temperature will not result
in a risk of malfunctions.
110 °C (230 °F)
16 COOLING SYSTEM 143
H01904-10
The coolant is cooled by the air stream and a radiator fan 4, which is controlled by a ther-
moswitch.

26 STANDARDS 190
JASO T903 MA
Different technical development directions required a separate specification for 4-stroke motorcycles –the JASO T903 MA standard.
Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specifica-
tion.
Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, the focus for motorcycle engines is on high performance at high
engine speeds.
In most motorcycle engines, the transmission and the clutch are lubricated with the same oil.
The JASO MA standard meets these special requirements.
SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their viscos-
