particular attention to instructions and information marked as follows:
This manual contains important information on the operation and maintenance of your new KTM motor-
cycle. It went to press describing your model’s latest state of development. Nevertheless, the descriptions
may deviate slightly from the current design as our motorcycles are permanently improved.The Owner's
Manual is an integral part of the motorcycle and must be handed over to the new owner when the motor-
cycle is sold.
SERVICE
Observance of the service, maintenance and tuning instructions for the engine and chassis specified in
the Owner's Manual is a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. An
improperly tuned chassis can lead to damage and breakage of the chassis components (see chapter on
checking the basic chassis setting).
The use of the motorcycle under extreme conditions, e.g. on extremely muddy and wet terrain, can lead
to higher than average wear on components such as the drive train or the brakes. In this case it may
become necessary to service or replace wear parts before the service limit specified in the maintenance
schedule has been reached.
We expressly point out that work marked with an asterisk (*) in the chapter "Maintenance work on the
chassis and engine" must be performed by a KTM workshop. If maintenance work should become neces-
sary during a competition, it must be performed by a trained mechanic.
Please strictly observe the prescribed running-in periods and inspection and maintenance intervals.
Compliance with these instructions will significantly prolong the life of your motorcycle.
Ignoring these instructions can be dangerous to life and limb!
Ignoring these instructions may damage parts of the motorcycle or impair the motorcycle's
traffic safety!
