INTENDED PURPOSE

The KTM 990 Adventure is designed to resist the usual wear and tear of normal use on roads and easy terrain (unpaved roads).

OWNER’S MANUAL

Carefully read the entire Owner’s Manual before you start riding your motorcycle, even if this will take a little time. It contains useful tips and information on the best way to handle the motorcycle and how to protect yourself from injuries. The Manual also contains important information on service and maintenance. In your own interest, pay particular attention to the information marked as follows:

Ignoring these instructions, can endanger your body and your life.

Ignoring these instructions could cause damage to parts of your motorcycle or that the motor-cycle is not road-safe anymore.

The Owner’s Manual corresponded to the latest information available for this model series at the time it was printed. Minor deviations resulting from enhancements to the motorcycle design cannot be entirely precluded. The Owner’s Manual is an integral part of the motorcycle and must be handed over to the new owner when the motorcycle is sold.

SERVICE

Observance of the service, maintenance and operating instructions for the engine and chassis specified in the Owner’s Manual is a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. Please observe the prescribed breaking-in periods, inspection intervals and service intervals. Strict observance will significantly prolong the service life of your motorcycle.

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION »

WARRANTY

The service work specified in the „Lubrication and Maintenance Schedule“ must be performed by an authorized KTM workshop. This is the only place that has the qualified technicians and the special tools required for the 990 Adventure. Be sure to have the workshop verify all service work carried out in the service manual to avoid losing your right to claim under the warranty.

The warranty or guarantee shall become void for damage and consequential damage caused by manipulations or conversions to the motorcycle.

AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS

The fuels, lubricants and liquids specified in the Owner’s Manual or automotive fluids with equivalent specifications must be used in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

SPARE PARTS, ACCESSORIES

For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessories approved by KTM. KTM shall not assume any liability for other products or consequential damage resulting from the use of such products.

ENVIRONMENT

Motorcycle driving is a wonderful sport and we hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the full. It may, however, involve potential problems for the environment or lead to conflicts with others. These problems or conflicts can be avoided if the motorcycle is used responsibly. To safeguard the future of motorcycle sports, make sure that you use the motorcycle in accordance with the law, show that you are environmentally conscious and respect the rights of others.

Enjoy driving your motorcycle !

GENERAL TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE » 24

Instructions for initial operation

Make sure the work for the „pre-delivery inspection“ was performed by your authorized KTM workshop. The DELIVERY CERTIFICATE and SERVICE MANUAL will be handed over when you pick up your vehicle.

Read these operating instructions carefully before your first ride.

Enter the chassis, engine and key numbers on page 1.

Familiarize yourself with the operating elements.

Adjust the hand brake lever and foot brake lever to your most comfortable position.

The motorcycle is equipped with 2 threeway catalysts. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converters. Please use unleaded fuel only.

Get used to handling the motorcycle on an empty parking lot, 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 handlebars 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.

New tires have a smooth surface, which means that they must be run in to achieve full grip. For this purpose, ride the motorcycle carefully at moderate speed during the first 200 kilometers with new tires, tilting the vehicle at different angles so that all sections are properly roughened. Tires will not display their full grip characteristics until they are properly run in.

Motorcycles are sensitive to changes in the weight distribution. Read the section on «Accessories and payload“ when carrying luggage.

Pay attention to running-in procedure.

Running in the LC8 engine

Even finely machined surfaces of engine parts have rougher surfaces than parts that slide on each other for a long time. Therefore, every engine must be run in. For this reason, do not demand maximum performance from the engine for the first 1000 kilometers (620 miles). The vehicle must be run in at low, changing performance level for the first 1000 km (620 miles). The maximum number of revolutions per minute must not go exceed 6500 rpm. Once you have run your engine in for 1000 km, you may push it to its 9500 rpm limit , i.e. up to the black zone indicated in the tachometer. Exceeding the above listed rotations as well as pushing high rpm when the engine is cold will have an adverse effect on the life of your engine.

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 colored so that other vehicle can see you as early as possible. Your passenger will also need suitable protective clothing.

Do not drive after having consumed alcohol.

Always turn on the light to make sure that other drivers become aware of you as early as possible.

Drive at a moderate speed for the first few kilometers of each trip to allow the tires to reach the necessary operating temperature. Maximum road grip is assured when the tires are warm.

The front and rear wheel are allowed to be fitted only with tires that have the same profile type.

GENERAL TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE » 25

The tires must be designed for a maximum speed of 240 kph (speed symbol V) and must be authorized by KTM.

Do not exceed the respective maximum speed for tires designed with a speed index of less than «V“ (240 kph). A sticker showing the maximum speed must be affixed to the motorcycle within the driver’s field of vision.

New wheels have a smooth surface, which means that they must be run in to achieve full grip. For this purpose, ride the motorcycle carefully at moderate speed during the first 200 kilometers with new tires, tilting the vehicle at different angles so that all sections are properly roughened. Tires will not display their full grip characteristics until they are properly run in.

Wheels with a different rim diameter or other rim width may not be mounted otherwise the vehicle handling will no longer be safe. For models equipped with ABS (antilock brake system), the ABS function is no longer guaranteed.

Models with ABS: The ABS is designed to be used with the tires authorized by KTM and works best with these tires. The ABS function cannot be guaranteed if other tires are used.

Models with ABS: an incorrect tire pressure will have an adverse effect on the ABS control and driving stability and will increase the stopping distance.

Observe the traffic regulations, drive defensively and trying to look ahead as far as possible so that any hazards can be recognized as early as possible.

The faster you drive, the more sensitive your motorcycle will be to crosswind and changing road conditions. Your motorcycle can easily go out of control at high speeds.

Choose your driving speed according to the conditions and your driving skills.

Drive carefully on unknown roads or on unfamiliar trials.

Renew the vizor on your helmet or the glass of your goggles on time so as to ensure optimum vision in any situation. When light shines directly on scratched visor or goggles, the operator will be blinded.

Never leave your motorcycle without supervision if the engine is running.

Accessories and payload

Accessory parts and baggage can significantly decrease a motorcycle’s driving stability. Please observe the following warnings.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if you have mounted accessory parts on your motorcycle. Accessory parts can significantly impair the motorcycle’s handling, especially in the maximum speed range.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if your motorcycle is loaded with cases or other baggage. They will impair the motorcycle’s handling at higher speeds and can easily cause it to go out of control

If you have cases mounted, do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum payload.

Fasten the baggage close to the center of the motorcycle and distribute the weight evenly on the front and rear wheels and on the left and right.

Baggage must be securely and adequately fastenend; loose baggage will significantly impair driving safety.

A high payload will change the motorcycle’s handling and considerably increase the braking distance; adapt your driving speed accordingly.

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 and passenger with protective clothing and helmet

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

26

Check the following before each start

When you start, the motorcycle must be in perfect mechanical condition. For safety reasons, you should make a habit of performing an overall check of your motorcycle before each start.

The following checks should be performed:

1FUEL

Check the fuel quantity in the tanks.

2CHAIN

Check the tension and condition of the chain.

A loose chain can fall off the sprockets and a worn-out chain can tear. In both cases this can damage other motorcycle components and cause the motorcycle to go out of control. A chain that is too tight or not greased will cause unnecessary wear to the chain and sprockets.

3TIRES

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.

4BRAKES

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.

5CABLES

Check smooth operation of the throttle cables.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

27

6COOLING FLUID

Check the level of cooling fluid when the engine is cold.

7ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Start the engine and check the headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signal, indicator lamps and horn for proper functioning.

8CHECK OIL LEVEL

Insufficient oil results in premature wear and consequently to engine damage.

9BAGGAGE, PAYLOAD

Never exceed the maximum total weight (430 kg, 949 lbs) and the motorcycle’s wheel loads. The maximum total weight is comprised of:

the motorcycle in a running condition and refueled (232 kg, 512 lbs)

the baggage and accessories

the driver and passenger with protective gear and helmet

Adjust the tire inflation pressure as well as the preload and damping properties of the fork and shock absorber to the total weight.

Make sure your luggage is correctly fastened before you drive off.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if your motorcycle is loaded with cases or other baggage. They will impair the motorcycle’s handling at higher speeds and can easily cause it to go out of control.

10 REAR MIRROR

Sit on the motorcycle and check the adjustment of the rear mirror.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

28

Starting the engine

1

Switch on emergency OFF switch [1].

2

Switch on ignition (turn ignition key [2] into position ).

NOTE: You will hear the operation of the fuel pump for approx. 2 seconds after switch-

1

ing on the ignition. The FI indicator lamp will also light up during this time and the

engine cannot be started.

3

NOTE FOR MODELS WITH ABS:

The ABS warning lamp [5] must light up when the ignition is switched on.

4

Switch transmission to idle (green indicator lamp N [3] lights up).

6

5

Do not accelerate; operate starter button [6].

NOTE: If you accelerate during the starting process you will hear a loud, metallic

sound caused by the torque limiter. The torque limiter protects the

components in the starter drive from being damaged.

6

The oil pressure warning lamp [4] should go out as soon as the engine is running.

7

Take the motorcycle off of the main stand or side stand.

2

Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed room. Exhaust fumes are poison-

ous and can cause loss of consciousness and death. Always provide adequate ventila-

tion while the engine is running.

Never operate the motorcycle with a run-down battery or without the battery. This can

damage the electronic components or safety equipment in either caseand the motorcy-

cle will no longer be roadworthy.

If you accelerate while starting, the engine management will not inject any fuel and the engine will not start. Do not accelerate while starting!

If the oil pressure warning lamp does not go out as soon as the engine is running, immediately switch off the engine. If the engine is not switched off, engine damage will occur within a short period of time. Check the engine oil level or contact a ktm workshop.

Maximum period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait at least 5 seconds before trying again.

Don’t ride your motorcycle with full load and don’t rev engine when cold. Because the piston is warming up faster than the water cooled cylinder, it can cause engine damage. Always let the engine warm up before and refrain from driving with full load until the engine is warm.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

29

IF THE ENGINE IS DOES NOT CRANK WHEN YOU ACTUATE THE STARTER TIP SWITCH:

whether you accelerated while starting

the transmission is switched to idle

Check if the emergency OFF switch is on

Check if the ignition is on

the headlight is on (the light is switched off when actuating the starter button)

If this is not the case, the battery is discharged

If the lights are on, proceed as described in the „Trouble-shooting“ section or contact a KTM dealer.

IF THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START, WHEN YOU ACTUATE THE STARTER TIP SWITCH:

whether you accelerated while starting

whether the FI indicator lamp is blinking

if yes, check Troubleshooting — Blink codes table

Check if sufficient fuel is in the tank

If this is not the case, refill the tank

if sufficient fuel is in the tank, proceed as described in the „Troubleshooting“ section or contact a KTM dealer.

NOTE:

This motorcycle is equipped with a safety starting system. The engine can only be started if the transmission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled. If the side stand is folded down, the engine can only be started if the trans-

mission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled. The engine will stall if a gear is engaged and the clutch lever is released with the side stand folded down.

Starting off

Pull the clutch lever and engage 1st gear. Slowly release the clutch lever while you gently accelerate.

Before you start off, check that the main stand has been swung up fully. If the stand drags on the ground, the motorcycle can go out of control.

Shifting/Riding

You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending on the conditions (traffic, road gradient, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever and shift to the next higher gear. Let clutch lever go again and carefully open throttle. Do not shift gears and accelerate carefully in curves.

Only accelerate to the extent that road and weather conditions allow. Be especially careful when you accelerate in curves. Abrupt opening of the throttle can cause the motorcycle to go out of control and also increases fuel consumption.

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.

If the engine is killed f.ex. at a crossing, simply pull the clutch lever and start. It is not necessary to switch the gear to NEUTRAL. Stop immediately if the FI indicator lamp lights up while driving. The FI indicator lamp will start blinking as soon as the transmission is in neutral. The rhythm of the blinking lamp will let you determine the two-digit „blink code“, e.g.:

Blink code 34: FI blinks 3x long, 4x short, pause,

Blink code 06: FI blinks 6x short, pause. The blink code will indicate which component is defective (see Troubleshooting). This makes it possible to pinpoint the defect if a diagnostic tool is unavailable.

Avoid abrupt load changes while riding around bends and on wet or slippery ground. Otherwise you might easily lose control over your motorcycle.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

30

While riding your motorcycle, never switch the ignition lock to positions And .

Do not try to change the settings of the multi-functional Speedometer while driving. Your attention will be distracted from the traffic and may cause you to lose control of your motorcycle.

The passenger must hold on to the driver or the grab handle on the baggage carrier during the ride and keep his feet on the passenger footrests.

Regularly make sure that the baggage and cases are tightly fastened.

After falling with the motorcycle, check all functions thoroughly before starting up operations again.

A bent handlebar must always be replaced. Never try to straighten the handlebar because this will cause it to lose its stability.

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 operating temperature as soon as the 4th bar on the temperature indicator lights up.

If the red oil pressure warning lamp lights up while driving, the oil pressure is too low to adequately lubricate the engine.

Stop immediately and switch off the engine. if you continue to drive, engine damage will occur within a short period of time. Check the engine oil level or contact an authorized KTM workshop.

Never have the throttle wide open when changing down to a lower gear. The engine will overspeed, damaging the valves. In addition, the rear wheel blocks so that the motorcycle can easily get out of control.

Never use your motorcycle without an air filter. Otherwise dust and dirt may enter the engine and cause increased wear.

Stop immediately if a perceptible power loss occurs while driving due to a defective ignition caused by a cylinder misfiring or breaking down. If the unburned fuel/air mixture reaches the catalytic converter, it will ignite and the resulting heat will destroy the catalytic converter and the adjoining components.

the red coolant warning lamp lights up when the coolant temperature has reached 120°c (248°F).

possible causes for the increase in temperature:

low driving velocity and high load situation in high air temperatures

level of coolant in the system is insufficient

fan at radiator is not running

improper use of the clutch while driving at low velocities

Let the engine cool down. Meanwhile, check whether any cooling liquid is leaking out of the motorcycle. Check the cool-

ing liquid level in the radiator (not only in the compensating tank). — CAUTION SCALDING HAZARD! Do not drive on, until there is sufficient liquid in the coling system.

In the event that, while riding on your motorcycle, you notice any unusual oper- ation-related noise, stop immediately, turn the engine off, and contact an authorized KTM dealer.

Braking – models

without ABS (antilock brake system)

Close throttle and apply the hand and foot brakes at the same time. Carefully apply the brakes on sandy, wet or slippery surfaces. Always brake with feeling, blocking wheels can cause you to skid or fall. Also change down to lower gears depending on your speed.

Always finish braking before you enter a curve.

When driving downhill, 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.

Braking – models

with ABS (antilock brake system)

Close throttle and apply the hand and foot brakes at the same time. The ABS allows you to apply the full braking force during full braking and with poor road grip on sandy, wet

INTENDED PURPOSE

The KTM 990 Adventure is designed to resist the usual wear and tear of normal use on roads and easy terrain (unpaved roads).

OWNER’S MANUAL

Carefully read the entire Owner’s Manual before you start riding your motorcycle, even if this will take a little time. It contains useful tips and information on the best way to handle the motorcycle and how to protect yourself from injuries. The Manual also contains important information on service and maintenance. In your own interest, pay particular attention to the information marked as follows:

Ignoring these instructions, can endanger your body and your life.

Ignoring these instructions could cause damage to parts of your motorcycle or that the motor-cycle is not road-safe anymore.

The Owner’s Manual corresponded to the latest information available for this model series at the time it was printed. Minor deviations resulting from enhancements to the motorcycle design cannot be entirely precluded. The Owner’s Manual is an integral part of the motorcycle and must be handed over to the new owner when the motorcycle is sold.

SERVICE

Observance of the service, maintenance and operating instructions for the engine and chassis specified in the Owner’s Manual is a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. Please observe the prescribed breaking-in periods, inspection intervals and service intervals. Strict observance will significantly prolong the service life of your motorcycle.

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION »

WARRANTY

The service work specified in the „Lubrication and Maintenance Schedule“ must be performed by an authorized KTM workshop. This is the only place that has the qualified technicians and the special tools required for the 990 Adventure. Be sure to have the workshop verify all service work carried out in the service manual to avoid losing your right to claim under the warranty.

The warranty or guarantee shall become void for damage and consequential damage caused by manipulations or conversions to the motorcycle.

AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS

The fuels, lubricants and liquids specified in the Owner’s Manual or automotive fluids with equivalent specifications must be used in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

SPARE PARTS, ACCESSORIES

For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessories approved by KTM. KTM shall not assume any liability for other products or consequential damage resulting from the use of such products.

ENVIRONMENT

Motorcycle driving is a wonderful sport and we hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the full. It may, however, involve potential problems for the environment or lead to conflicts with others. These problems or conflicts can be avoided if the motorcycle is used responsibly. To safeguard the future of motorcycle sports, make sure that you use the motorcycle in accordance with the law, show that you are environmentally conscious and respect the rights of others.

Enjoy driving your motorcycle !

GENERAL TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE » 24

Instructions for initial operation

Make sure the work for the „pre-delivery inspection“ was performed by your authorized KTM workshop. The DELIVERY CERTIFICATE and SERVICE MANUAL will be handed over when you pick up your vehicle.

Read these operating instructions carefully before your first ride.

Enter the chassis, engine and key numbers on page 1.

Familiarize yourself with the operating elements.

Adjust the hand brake lever and foot brake lever to your most comfortable position.

The motorcycle is equipped with 2 threeway catalysts. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converters. Please use unleaded fuel only.

Get used to handling the motorcycle on an empty parking lot, 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 handlebars 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.

New tires have a smooth surface, which means that they must be run in to achieve full grip. For this purpose, ride the motorcycle carefully at moderate speed during the first 200 kilometers with new tires, tilting the vehicle at different angles so that all sections are properly roughened. Tires will not display their full grip characteristics until they are properly run in.

Motorcycles are sensitive to changes in the weight distribution. Read the section on «Accessories and payload“ when carrying luggage.

Pay attention to running-in procedure.

Running in the LC8 engine

Even finely machined surfaces of engine parts have rougher surfaces than parts that slide on each other for a long time. Therefore, every engine must be run in. For this reason, do not demand maximum performance from the engine for the first 1000 kilometers (620 miles). The vehicle must be run in at low, changing performance level for the first 1000 km (620 miles). The maximum number of revolutions per minute must not go exceed 6500 rpm. Once you have run your engine in for 1000 km, you may push it to its 9500 rpm limit , i.e. up to the black zone indicated in the tachometer. Exceeding the above listed rotations as well as pushing high rpm when the engine is cold will have an adverse effect on the life of your engine.

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 colored so that other vehicle can see you as early as possible. Your passenger will also need suitable protective clothing.

Do not drive after having consumed alcohol.

Always turn on the light to make sure that other drivers become aware of you as early as possible.

Drive at a moderate speed for the first few kilometers of each trip to allow the tires to reach the necessary operating temperature. Maximum road grip is assured when the tires are warm.

The front and rear wheel are allowed to be fitted only with tires that have the same profile type.

GENERAL TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE » 25

The tires must be designed for a maximum speed of 240 kph (speed symbol V) and must be authorized by KTM.

Do not exceed the respective maximum speed for tires designed with a speed index of less than «V“ (240 kph). A sticker showing the maximum speed must be affixed to the motorcycle within the driver’s field of vision.

New wheels have a smooth surface, which means that they must be run in to achieve full grip. For this purpose, ride the motorcycle carefully at moderate speed during the first 200 kilometers with new tires, tilting the vehicle at different angles so that all sections are properly roughened. Tires will not display their full grip characteristics until they are properly run in.

Wheels with a different rim diameter or other rim width may not be mounted otherwise the vehicle handling will no longer be safe. For models equipped with ABS (antilock brake system), the ABS function is no longer guaranteed.

Models with ABS: The ABS is designed to be used with the tires authorized by KTM and works best with these tires. The ABS function cannot be guaranteed if other tires are used.

Models with ABS: an incorrect tire pressure will have an adverse effect on the ABS control and driving stability and will increase the stopping distance.

Observe the traffic regulations, drive defensively and trying to look ahead as far as possible so that any hazards can be recognized as early as possible.

The faster you drive, the more sensitive your motorcycle will be to crosswind and changing road conditions. Your motorcycle can easily go out of control at high speeds.

Choose your driving speed according to the conditions and your driving skills.

Drive carefully on unknown roads or on unfamiliar trials.

Renew the vizor on your helmet or the glass of your goggles on time so as to ensure optimum vision in any situation. When light shines directly on scratched visor or goggles, the operator will be blinded.

Never leave your motorcycle without supervision if the engine is running.

Accessories and payload

Accessory parts and baggage can significantly decrease a motorcycle’s driving stability. Please observe the following warnings.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if you have mounted accessory parts on your motorcycle. Accessory parts can significantly impair the motorcycle’s handling, especially in the maximum speed range.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if your motorcycle is loaded with cases or other baggage. They will impair the motorcycle’s handling at higher speeds and can easily cause it to go out of control

If you have cases mounted, do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum payload.

Fasten the baggage close to the center of the motorcycle and distribute the weight evenly on the front and rear wheels and on the left and right.

Baggage must be securely and adequately fastenend; loose baggage will significantly impair driving safety.

A high payload will change the motorcycle’s handling and considerably increase the braking distance; adapt your driving speed accordingly.

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 and passenger with protective clothing and helmet

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

26

Check the following before each start

When you start, the motorcycle must be in perfect mechanical condition. For safety reasons, you should make a habit of performing an overall check of your motorcycle before each start.

The following checks should be performed:

1FUEL

Check the fuel quantity in the tanks.

2CHAIN

Check the tension and condition of the chain.

A loose chain can fall off the sprockets and a worn-out chain can tear. In both cases this can damage other motorcycle components and cause the motorcycle to go out of control. A chain that is too tight or not greased will cause unnecessary wear to the chain and sprockets.

3TIRES

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.

4BRAKES

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.

5CABLES

Check smooth operation of the throttle cables.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

27

6COOLING FLUID

Check the level of cooling fluid when the engine is cold.

7ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Start the engine and check the headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signal, indicator lamps and horn for proper functioning.

8CHECK OIL LEVEL

Insufficient oil results in premature wear and consequently to engine damage.

9BAGGAGE, PAYLOAD

Never exceed the maximum total weight (430 kg, 949 lbs) and the motorcycle’s wheel loads. The maximum total weight is comprised of:

the motorcycle in a running condition and refueled (232 kg, 512 lbs)

the baggage and accessories

the driver and passenger with protective gear and helmet

Adjust the tire inflation pressure as well as the preload and damping properties of the fork and shock absorber to the total weight.

Make sure your luggage is correctly fastened before you drive off.

Never drive faster than 130 kph (80 mph) if your motorcycle is loaded with cases or other baggage. They will impair the motorcycle’s handling at higher speeds and can easily cause it to go out of control.

10 REAR MIRROR

Sit on the motorcycle and check the adjustment of the rear mirror.

4

Switch transmission to idle (green indicator lamp N [3] lights up).

6

5

Do not accelerate; operate starter button [6].

NOTE: If you accelerate during the starting process you will hear a loud, metallic

sound caused by the torque limiter. The torque limiter protects the

components in the starter drive from being damaged.

6

The oil pressure warning lamp [4] should go out as soon as the engine is running.

7

Take the motorcycle off of the main stand or side stand.

2

Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed room. Exhaust fumes are poison-

ous and can cause loss of consciousness and death. Always provide adequate ventila-

tion while the engine is running.

Never operate the motorcycle with a run-down battery or without the battery. This can

damage the electronic components or safety equipment in either caseand the motorcy-

cle will no longer be roadworthy.

If you accelerate while starting, the engine management will not inject any fuel and the engine will not start. Do not accelerate while starting!

If the oil pressure warning lamp does not go out as soon as the engine is running, immediately switch off the engine. If the engine is not switched off, engine damage will occur within a short period of time. Check the engine oil level or contact a ktm workshop.

Maximum period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait at least 5 seconds before trying again.

Don’t ride your motorcycle with full load and don’t rev engine when cold. Because the piston is warming up faster than the water cooled cylinder, it can cause engine damage. Always let the engine warm up before and refrain from driving with full load until the engine is warm.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

IF THE ENGINE IS DOES NOT CRANK WHEN YOU ACTUATE THE STARTER TIP SWITCH:

whether you accelerated while starting

the transmission is switched to idle

Check if the emergency OFF switch is on

Check if the ignition is on

the headlight is on (the light is switched off when actuating the starter button)

If this is not the case, the battery is discharged

If the lights are on, proceed as described in the „Trouble-shooting“ section or contact a KTM dealer.

IF THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START, WHEN YOU ACTUATE THE STARTER TIP SWITCH:

whether you accelerated while starting

whether the FI indicator lamp is blinking

if yes, check Troubleshooting — Blink codes table

Check if sufficient fuel is in the tank

If this is not the case, refill the tank

if sufficient fuel is in the tank, proceed as described in the „Troubleshooting“ section or contact a KTM dealer.

NOTE:

This motorcycle is equipped with a safety starting system. The engine can only be started if the transmission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled. If the side stand is folded down, the engine can only be started if the trans-

mission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled. The engine will stall if a gear is engaged and the clutch lever is released with the side stand folded down.

Starting off

Pull the clutch lever and engage 1st gear. Slowly release the clutch lever while you gently accelerate.

Before you start off, check that the main stand has been swung up fully. If the stand drags on the ground, the motorcycle can go out of control.

Shifting/Riding

You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending on the conditions (traffic, road gradient, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever and shift to the next higher gear. Let clutch lever go again and carefully open throttle. Do not shift gears and accelerate carefully in curves.

Only accelerate to the extent that road and weather conditions allow. Be especially careful when you accelerate in curves. Abrupt opening of the throttle can cause the motorcycle to go out of control and also increases fuel consumption.

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.

If the engine is killed f.ex. at a crossing, simply pull the clutch lever and start. It is not necessary to switch the gear to NEUTRAL. Stop immediately if the FI indicator lamp lights up while driving. The FI indicator lamp will start blinking as soon as the transmission is in neutral. The rhythm of the blinking lamp will let you determine the two-digit „blink code“, e.g.:

Blink code 34: FI blinks 3x long, 4x short, pause,

Blink code 06: FI blinks 6x short, pause. The blink code will indicate which component is defective (see Troubleshooting). This makes it possible to pinpoint the defect if a diagnostic tool is unavailable.

Avoid abrupt load changes while riding around bends and on wet or slippery ground. Otherwise you might easily lose control over your motorcycle.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS »

30

While riding your motorcycle, never switch the ignition lock to positions And .

Do not try to change the settings of the multi-functional Speedometer while driving. Your attention will be distracted from the traffic and may cause you to lose control of your motorcycle.

The passenger must hold on to the driver or the grab handle on the baggage carrier during the ride and keep his feet on the passenger footrests.

Regularly make sure that the baggage and cases are tightly fastened.

After falling with the motorcycle, check all functions thoroughly before starting up operations again.

A bent handlebar must always be replaced. Never try to straighten the handlebar because this will cause it to lose its stability.

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 operating temperature as soon as the 4th bar on the temperature indicator lights up.

If the red oil pressure warning lamp lights up while driving, the oil pressure is too low to adequately lubricate the engine.

Stop immediately and switch off the engine. if you continue to drive, engine damage will occur within a short period of time. Check the engine oil level or contact an authorized KTM workshop.

Never have the throttle wide open when changing down to a lower gear. The engine will overspeed, damaging the valves. In addition, the rear wheel blocks so that the motorcycle can easily get out of control.

Never use your motorcycle without an air filter. Otherwise dust and dirt may enter the engine and cause increased wear.

Stop immediately if a perceptible power loss occurs while driving due to a defective ignition caused by a cylinder misfiring or breaking down. If the unburned fuel/air mixture reaches the catalytic converter, it will ignite and the resulting heat will destroy the catalytic converter and the adjoining components.

the red coolant warning lamp lights up when the coolant temperature has reached 120°c (248°F).

possible causes for the increase in temperature:

low driving velocity and high load situation in high air temperatures

level of coolant in the system is insufficient

fan at radiator is not running

improper use of the clutch while driving at low velocities

Let the engine cool down. Meanwhile, check whether any cooling liquid is leaking out of the motorcycle. Check the cool-

ing liquid level in the radiator (not only in the compensating tank). — CAUTION SCALDING HAZARD! Do not drive on, until there is sufficient liquid in the coling system.

In the event that, while riding on your motorcycle, you notice any unusual oper- ation-related noise, stop immediately, turn the engine off, and contact an authorized KTM dealer.

Braking – models

without ABS (antilock brake system)

Close throttle and apply the hand and foot brakes at the same time. Carefully apply the brakes on sandy, wet or slippery surfaces. Always brake with feeling, blocking wheels can cause you to skid or fall. Also change down to lower gears depending on your speed.

Always finish braking before you enter a curve.

When driving downhill, 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.

Braking – models

with ABS (antilock brake system)

Close throttle and apply the hand and foot brakes at the same time. The ABS allows you to apply the full braking force during full braking and with poor road grip on sandy, wet
