ent chain positions.

» If the distance is greater than the specified measurement:
– Have the chain changed.
Info
When the chain is replaced, the rear sprocket and engine sprocket

New chains wear out faster on old, worn sprockets.
For safety reasons, the chain has no chain joint. Always have the chain
changed in an authorized KTM workshop, where the necessary tool is
available.
