Use definition

KTM sport motorcycles are designed and constructed to meet the normal demands of regular road operation but not for use on race courses or off-road.

Info The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous version only.

Service

A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine & chassis is properly carried out as described in the owner's manual. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components.

Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet roads can lead to above-average wear of components such as the transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in the service schedule is reached.

Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.

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 otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be considered for damage resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle.

Fuel, oils, etc.

You should use the fuels, oils, and greases according to specifications as listed in the Owner's Manual.

Spare parts and Accessories

For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that have been 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.

Some spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.

You will find the current KTM Power Parts available for your vehicle at your nearest KTM dealership.

Work rules

Special tools are necessary for certain tasks.The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered through the nearest KTM authorised dealership.

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.

Where thread lockers are used on screw connections (e.g. Loctite®), follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.

After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear.
