Introduction |
|
We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a KTM motorcycle. Let us also take this |
|
opportunity to thank you for putting your trust in us; we will not let you down. |
|
You are now owner of a sporty and modern motorcycle which you are bound to have a great time |
|
with provided you care for it properly. Before going for a first ride on your motorbike, you should |
|
read this Owner’s Handbook carefully, even if this takes some of your precious time, so as to |
|
familiarize yourself with how your motorbike is to be operated and which features it offers you. |
|
Only by doing so will you learn how you can best tune your motorcycle to your needs and how |
ENGLISH |
you can avoid bodily injuries. In addition, this Owner’s Handbook contains invaluable informa- |
your case, you will be able to use this Owner’s Handbook to carry out most of the maintenance |
|
|
tion about motorcycle maintenance. At the time of printing, this User's Guide corresponded to the |
|
latest state of this model family. It is, however, possible that we may have made slight modificati- |
|
ons in the meantime due to development in our motorcycle design. |
|
The Owner’s Handbook is an essential part of the motorbike and should - when the bike is sold - |
|
be handed over to the new owner. |
|
Many motorcyclists have a good working knowledge of motorcycle mechanics; if this is true in |
|
steps yourself. If, on the other hand, you are not very familiar with motorcycles, it might be better |
2to have a professional KTM dealer perform those steps marked by * found in the chapter entitled “Maintenance Work on Chassis and Engine” of this manual.
Take special care to follow the recommended run in, inspection, and maintenance intervals. Heeding these guidelines will significantly increase the life of your motorcycle. Be sure to have any maintenance jobs performed by an authorized KTM dealer.
Address your special requests to an authorized KTM dealer who, should the need arise, will be supported by the KTM importer.
Please do not forget to don your helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing when going for a ride. KTM riders are responsible riders! We wish you a lot of fun when driving !
KTM Austria’s certificate of achievement for its Quality System ISO 9001 is the beginning of an on-going total re-engineering quality plan for a brighter tomorrow.

Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank; when closing the filler cap, check that the tank venting hose is free of kinks.
3CHAIN
A loose chain can fall from the chain wheels; an extremely worn chain can tear, and insufficient lubrication can result in unnecessary wear to the chain and chain wheels. Excessive tensioning of the chain will put additional load on the components of the secondary drivetrain (chain, bearings of transmission and rear wheel). Aside from resulting premature wear, if worst comes to worst the chain may rupture or the countershaft of the transmission may break.
4TIRES
Check for damaged tires. Tires showing cuts or dents must be replaced. The tread depth must comply with the legal regulations. Also check the air pressure. Insufficient tread and incorrect air pressure deteriorate the driving performance.
5BRAKES
Check correct functioning of the braking system. Check for sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir. The reservoirs have been designed in such a way that brake fluid does not need to be refilled even when the brake pads are worn. If the level of brake fluid falls below the minimum value, this indicates a leak in the braking system or completely worn out brake pads. Arrange for the braking system to be checked by a KTM specialist, as complete failure of the braking system can be avoided.
Also check the state of the brake hose and the thickness of the brake linings.
Check free travel at hand brake lever and foot brake lever.
6CABLES
Check correct setting and easy running of all control cables.
7COOLING FLUID
Check the level of cooling fluid when the engine is cold.
8ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Check correct functioning of headlamps, tail-lights, brake lights, indicators, control lamps and horn while the engine is running.
9LUGGAGE
If you are taking luggage with you, check that this is securely fastened.

WARNING |
|
–WEAR SUITABLE CLOTHING WHEN DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE. CLEVER KTM DRIVERS ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET, BOOTS, GLOVES AND A
JACKET, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DRIVING ALL DAY OR JUST FOR A SHORT TRIP. THE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE BRIGHTLY COLO- RED SO THAT OTHER VEHICLE CAN SEE YOU AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
– ALWAYS TURN ON THE LIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER DRIVERS BECOME AWARE OF YOU AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
–DO NOT DRIVE AFTER HAVING CONSUMED ALCOHOL.
–ONLY USE ACCESSORIES THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED BY KTM. FOR
EXAMPLE, FRONT PANELLING CAN IMPAIR THE DRIVING PROPERTIES OF THE MOTORCYCLE. CASES, EXTRA TANKS ETC. CAN ALTER THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND THUS ALSO IMPAIR THE VEHICLES DRIVING PROPERTIES.
– THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ARE ALLOWED TO BE FITTED ONLY WITH TIRES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROFILE TYPE.
– THE RACING MODELS ARE DESIGNED AND DIMENSIONED FOR 1 PER- SON ONLY. NEVER TAKE ANOTHER RIDER ALONG.
|
WARNING |
|
– THE SX MODELS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR USE ON PUBLIC ROADS AND FREEWAYS.
– WHEN RIDING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY FEEL MOLESTED BY EXCESSIVE NOISE.
Instructions for initial operation
–Verify that your KTM dealer performed the PREPARATION OF VEHICLE jobs (see Customer Service Manual).
–Read these operating instructions carefully before your first ride.
–Familiarize yourself with the operating elements.
–Set the clutch lever, the handbrake lever, and the footbrake pedal to the positions that are most convenient for you.
–Get used to handling the motorcycle on an empty parking lot or open space, before starting on a longer drive. Also try to drive as slowly as possible and in standing position, to improve your feeling for the vehicle.
–Do not drive along off-road tracks which go beyond your abitily and experience.
–Hold the handle bars with both hands and leave your feet on the foot rests while driving.
–Remove your foot from the foot brake lever when you are not braking. If the foot brake lever is not released the brake pads rub continuously and the braking system is overheated.
–Do not make any alterations to the motorcycle and always use ORIGINAL KTM SPARE PARTS. Spare parts from other manufacturers can impair the safety of the motorcycle.
–Motorcycles are sensitive to alterations in the distribution of weight. If you are taking luggage with you, this should be secured as close as possible to the middle of the vehicle; distribute the weight evenly between the front and rear wheel. Never exceed the maximum permissible laden weight and the axle weights. The maximum permissible laden weight is made up of the following components:
–Motorcycle ready for operation and tank full
–Luggage
–Driver with protective clothing and helmet.
–Pay attention to running-in procedure.
Running in the Racing models
Even very precisely machined sections of engine components have rougher surfaces than components which have been sliding across one another for quite some time. Therefore, every engine needs to be broken in.
For this reason, do not load the engine more than 50% of its capacity during the first 3 operating hours. Besides, the engine speed must not exceed 7000 rpm. Avoid going full-throttle!
In the following 12 operating hours, you may load the engine up to 75% of its capacity. Use the motorcycle on various types of terrain (road, easy off-road trails).

1Open the fuel tap 1.
2Swing up the side stand.
3Put the gear in neutral.
4Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or actuate the E-starter.
What to do when the engine is „flooded”
In the event of a fall, more fuel than necessary may get into the engine. In order to "pump the engine free", pull the hand decompression lever, fully rev up the engine, actuate the kickstarter 5 to 10 times or actuate the E- starter 2 times for 5 seconds each. Then, start the engine as described above.
If the engine fails to start, unscrew the spark plug and dry it. NOTE:
The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every time you open the throttle, fuel will be injected into the intake passage. When starting, be sure that you open the throttle completely only once.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch lever and open throttle at the same time.
|
WARNING |
|
–BEFORE YOU START OFF, CHECK THAT THE SIDE STAND HAS BEEN SWUNG UP FULLY. IF THE STAND DRAGS ON THE GROUND, THE MOTORCYCLE CAN GO OUT OF
CONTROL.
– ALWAYS TURN ON THE LIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER DRIVERS BECOME AWARE OF YOU AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher gear. Let clutch lever go again and give gas. If you turned on the choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the way, turn throttle back to 3/4; the speed hardly decreases although the engine will use less gas.
Only give as much gas as the engine can handle. Through quick and high reving of throttle, the fuel usage increases.
By shifting down, use the brakes if necessary and close throttle at the same time. Pull clutch lever and shift down to the next gear. Let clutch lever go slowely and open throttle or shift down again.
NOTE:
DEDICATED TO NOTHING BUT OFFROAD RACING, 400/520 SX/EXC MODELS MAKE NO COMPROMISES IN THEIR DESIGN. AS SUCH, THEY DO NOT INCLUDE ANY RADIATOR FAN, AND THE SIZE OF THE RADIATOR IS DIMENSIONED FOR OPTIMUM ERGONOMICS.
IN NORMAL RACING, THE COOLING SYSTEM IS SUFFICIENT.
IF YOU USE YOUR MOTORBIKE IN OTHER CONDITIONS, PLEASE NOTE THAT
– THE E-STARTER ALLOWS YOU TO START EXC MODELS AGAIN AT ANY TIME. THEREFORE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE IF YOU INTEND TO RUN

12 |
|
– |
ADJUST YOUR DRIVING SPEED ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS AND |
||
|
|
YOUR DRIVING SKILLS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
–DRIVE CAREFULLY UN UNKNOWN ROADS OR ON UNFAMILIAR TRIALS.
–WHEN DRIVING OFF-ROAD, ALWAYS HAVE A FRIEND ON A SECOND
MOTORCYCLE TO KEEP YOU COMPANY, SO THAT YOU CAN HELP EACH OTHER SHOULD DIFFICULTIES ARISE.
– REPLACE HELMET VISOR OR GOGGLE LENS WHEN SCRATCHED OR DAMAGED. IF BRIGHT LIGHT SHINES THROUGH A SCRATCHED VISOR OR LENS, THE OPERATOR WILL BE BLINDED.
– AFTER FALLING WITH THE MOTORCYCLE, CHECK ALL FUNCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING UP OPERATIONS AGAIN.
– A TWISTED HANDLEBAR MUST ALWAYS BE REPLACED. DO NOT ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR, IT WILL LOSE STA-BILITY.
! |
CAUTION |
! |
– 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 GIVING IT A CHANCE TO WARM UP. AFTER THAT NO FURTHER PRECAUTIONS IN THIS RESPECT NEED BE TAKEN. THE ENGINE HAS REACHED ITS OPERA- TING TEMPERATURE AS SOON AS THE RADIATORS BECOME WARM.
– NEVER HAVE THE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN WHEN CHANGING DOWN TO A LOWER GEAR. THE ENGINE WILL OVER-REV, DAMAGING THE VALVES. IN ADDITION, THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS SO THAT THE MOTORCYCLE CAN EASILY GET OUT OF CONTROL.
– LONG WHEELIES LEAD TO A DROP IN THE OIL PRESSURE WHICH CAN LEAD TO MOTOR DAMAGE.
– IF ANY ABNORMAL VIBRATIONS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, CHECK THAT THE ENGINE FASTENING BOLTS ARE TIGHT.
– IN THE EVENT THAT, WHILE RIDING ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE, YOU NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL OPERATION-RELATED NOISE, STOP IMMEDIA- TELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED KTM DEALER.
– NEVER START YOUR MOTORCYCLE IF NO AIR FILTER HAS BEEN MOUN- TED; OTHERWISE, DUST AND DIRT MAY ENTER THE ENGINE AND CAUSE INCREASED WEAR.
Braking
Close throttle 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 depending on your speed.
When driving down hill, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears but do not overspeed the engine. In this way, you will not need to brake so much and the brakes will not overheat.
|
WARNING |
|
– 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 BRAKING EFFECT. THE BRAKES MUST BE PULLED UNTIL THEY ARE DRY OR CLEAN.
– RIDES ON SALT-STREWED OR DIRTY ROADS CAN ALSO DELAY THE BRA- KING 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 WEA- KER THE BREAKING EFFECT. IN EXTREME CASES, THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM CAN FAIL.
Stopping and parking
Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. To turn off the engine, push the short-circuit button or the emergencyOFF button with the engine at idling speed until the engine stops. Turn the fuel tap to the OFF position, park on an area where the ground is firm, and lock the motorcycle.
|
WARNING |
|
– NEVER |
LEAVE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT SUPERVISION IF THE |
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
– 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 OPERATING THE MOTORCYCLE, AND TAKE CARE TO PARK IT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT LIKELY TO TOUCH IT AND GET BURNED.
! CAUTION !
– NEVER USE THE HAND DECOMPRESSION LEVER TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. RATHER, USE THE SHORT-CIRCUIT BUTTON OR THE EMER- GENCY-OFF BUTTON.
– CLOSE THE FUEL TAP WHEN LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE.OTHERWISE THE CARBURETTOR CAN FLOOD AND FUEL WILL ENTER THE ENGINE.
– NEVER PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE IN PLACES WHERE THERE EXIST FIRE HAZARDS DUE TO DRY GRASS OR OTHER EASILY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
NOTE REGARDING THE SIDE STAND:
Use your foot to kick side stand forward up to the stop and lean the motorcycle sideways. Make sure that the ground is solid and that your motorcycle is standing securely. Just in case, you can shift into first gear.
! |
CAUTION |
! |
THE SIDE STAND IS DESIGNED TO BEAR ONLY THE LOAD OF THE MOTORCYCLE. THE SIDE STAND AND/OR THE FRAME CAN BE DAMAGED AND THE MOTORCYCLE CAN FALL OVER IF YOU MOUNT THE MOTOR- CYCLE, THUS PUTTING AN ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE SIDE STAND.
