[. . . ] 3. 211. 82 EN IMPORTANT » We strongly suggest that you read this manual carefully and completely before going on your first ride. It contains a great deal of information and advice which will help you use and handle your bike properly. In your own interest, please pay particular attention to notices that are marked as follows: 1 ­ 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. Please insert the serial numbers of your motorcycle in the boxes below Frame number Stamp of dealer Engine number Key number All information contained is without obligation. 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. [. . . ] To breath, place the motorcycle on the side stand and briefly remove the bleeder screws [2] to allow any overpressure to escape from the fork. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE FORK CAN CAUSE LEAKS IN THE FORK. IF YOUR FORK IS LEAKING, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO OPEN THE BREATHER PLUGS BEFORE HAVING THE SEALS REPLACED. MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » Checking the chain tension A 38 Place the motorcycle on the side stand. The distance between the chain and the swing arm should be 7 mm (0. 3 in) when the upper part of the chain [A] is tensioned (see drawing). Correct the chain tension if necessary. 7 mm ­ IF CHAIN TENSION IS TOO GREAT, PARTS WITHIN THE SECONDARY POWER TRANSMISSION (CHAIN, CHAIN SPROCKETS, TRANSMISSION 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. 4 3 Correcting the chain tension 1 B 2 Loosen the collar nut [1], loosen the counternuts [2] and turn the left and right adjustment screws [3] the same distance. To make sure the rear wheel is aligned, the marks on the chain tensioners must be in the same position on the left and right in relation to the reference marks [B]. Before tightening the wheel spindle make sure the chain tensioner [4] rests against the adjustment screws and the rear wheel is aligned with the front wheel. Tighten the collar nut [1] to 90 Nm. 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 WHEEL SPINDLE CAN CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE'S HANDLING PERFORMANCE TO BECOME INSTABLE AND CAUSE IT TO CRASH. 3 2 4 B MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » Chain maintenance 39 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 drying, use a special chain spray designed for X-ring chains (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. ALWAYS HAVE THE CHAIN REPLACED IN AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP WHERE THE SERVICE TECHNICANS HAVE THE REQUIRED RIVETING TOOL. ­ NEVER MOUNT A NORMAL CHAIN JOINT. Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary. 15 KG Checking the chain for wear To check the chain for wear proceed as follows: Switch the transmission to idle and put a load of approx. 15 kilograms (33 lbs) on the lower part of the chain (see illustration). Now measure the distance between 18 chain rollers on the upper part of the chain. The chain needs to be replaced when the distance is 272 mm (10. 70 in). Since chains do not always wear evenly, repeat the measurement at different parts of the chain. 272 mm 123 NOTE: If you mount a new chain, the sprockets should also be replaced. New chains wear faster if used on old used sprockets. MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 1 2 LOCTITE 243 40 General information on KTM disk brakes BRAKE CALIPERS: The front brake calipers [1] have 4 brake pistons and are radially bolted to the fork legs. The front brake disks are designed as "floating" brake disks, i. e. [. . . ] NOTE: Before you put your motorcycle away for the winter, you have to check all parts for their function and wear. Should any service jobs, repairs, or any refitting be necessary, you should have them carried out during the off-season (lower workload a mechanics' shops). This way, you can avoid the long waiting times at your mechanic at the beginning of the next biking season.
