We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a KTM motorcycle. You are now the owner of a state-of-the-art sports motorcycle that guarantees to bring you lots of fun and enjoyment, provided that you clean and maintain it appropriately.

COMSUMER INFORMATION FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY Tampering with noise control system prohibited Owners are warned that the law may prohibit: (a) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; and (b) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG particularly reserves the right to modify any equipment, technical specifications, prices, colors, shapes, materials, services, service work, constructions, equipment and the like so as to adapt them to local conditions or to cancel any of the above items, all without previous announcement and without giving reasons. [. . . ] Mount the handlebar and handlebar clamps, and tighten screws [3] to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs). The gap between the handlebar support and the handlebar clamps should be the same size in the front and in the rear. The screws [4] must be secured with loctite 243.

Check chain tension
Jack the motorcycle up on its frame so that the rear wheel no longer touches the ground. In the course of this procedure, the upper chain portion [A] must be taut (see drawing). If the chain tension is too great, parts within the secondary transmission (chain, chain wheels and rear wheel bearings) will be subjected to unnecessary stress, resulting in premature wear and even chain breakage. Too much slack in the chain, on the other hand, can result in the chain jumping off the chain wheels. If this happens, the chain could also block the rear wheel or damage the engine. In either case the operator is likely to lose control of the motorcycle.

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE »
Correct chain tension B 3 2
Loosen collar nut [1], loosen lock nuts [2], and turn right and left adjusting screws [3] equally far. Before tightening the collar nut, verify that the chain adjusters [4] are sitting close to the adjusting screws and that the rear wheel has been aligned with the front wheel. If you don't happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tightening torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle. A loose wheel spindle may lead to an unstable behavior of your motorcycle. NOTE: The large adjusting range of the chain adjusters (32mm / 1. 25 in) allows you to use different secondary ratios in combination with the same chain length. Always mount the chain tensioner equally aligned.

Chain maintenance
For long chain life, good maintenance is very important. The best way is to use lots of water, but never use brushes or solvents. After letting the chain dry, you can use a special X-ring chain spray (Motorex Chainlube 622). No lubrication is allowed to reach the rear tire or the brake disk, eitherwise the road adherence and the rear wheel braking effects would be strongly reduced and the motorcycle could easily get out of control. When mounting the chain joint, the closed side of the safety device must point in running direction. Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary.

Chain wear
To check the chain wear, observe the following indications: Shift the gear into idling and pull the upper chain strand with approx. Now one can measure a space of 18 chain reels at the lower chain strand. The chain should be replaced at the latest when a space of 272 mm (10. 70 in) is measured. Chains do not always wear off evenly, therefore repeat the measurement at different places on the chain.
