This motorcycle is designed for use in offroad endurance competition and not primarily for use in motocross.
2.2Safety advice
A number of safety instructions need to be followed to operate the vehicle safely. Therefore, read this manual carefully. The safety
instructions are highlighted in the text and are referred to at the relevant passages.
Info
The vehicle has various information and warning labels at prominent locations. Do not remove information/warning labels. If
they are missing, you or others may not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured.
2.3Degrees of risk and symbols

2 the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
1 Removal or puncturing of the main silencer, baffles, header pipes or any other components which conduct exhaust gases.
2 Removal or puncturing of any part of the intake system.
3 Lack of proper maintenance.
4 Replacing any moving part of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the
manufacturer.
2SAFETY ADVICE7
2.5Safe operation
Danger
Danger of accidents Danger arising from the rider's judgement being impaired.
–Do not operate the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs and certain medications or physically or mentally
impaired.
Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and/or death.
–When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in an enclosed
space without an effective exhaust extraction system.
Warning
Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
–Do not touch hot components such as exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, and the brake system. Allow these
components to cool down before starting work on them.
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.
The vehicle should only be used by trained persons. 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.
2.6Protective clothing
Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
–Wear protective clothing (helmet, boots, gloves, pants and jacket with protectors) every time you ride the vehicle. Always
wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal requirements.
In the interest of your own safety, KTM recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.
2.7Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parentheses. 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.
2.8Environment
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
pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.
2.9Owner'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
useful 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 should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.
3IMPORTANT NOTES8
3.1Guarantee, warranty
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer's
service record and in the KTM dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be considered for damage
resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle.
Additional information on the guarantee or warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the service record.
3.2Operating and auxiliary substances
Warning
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
–Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.
Use operating and auxiliary substances (such as fuel and lubricants) as specified in the Owner's Manual.
3.3Spare 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 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
3.4Service
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 as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, 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.
3.5Figures
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 disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instructions in the text.
3.6Customer service
Your authorized KTM dealer will be happy to answer any questions you may have on your vehicle and KTM.
