Introduction
Dear Krämer Customer,
We want to congratulate you on purchasing a Krämer GP2-890RR series motorcycle.
The GP2-890RR is equipped with class-leading specications, including the best
power-to-weight ratio in the category, with 138 hp on-tap and a ready-to-race weight
of 142 kg (313 lbs). As the highest evolution of the critically regarded GP2 platform,
the RR-spec brings traction control and wheelie control to the offering, along with
improved aerodynamics and rened chassis characteristics.
Propelling the Krämer GP2-890RR to the front of the pack is an 889cc parallel-
twin motor from KTM, which produces 138hp (101 kW) at 10,100 rpm and 100 Nm
(74 lbs-ft) of torque at 8,200 rpm. An increased redline of 11,500 rpm comes to the
GP2-890RR as well, thanks to new lightweight engine internals and advanced engine
management software.
Making no compromises, the Krämer GP2-890RR is engineered to take you to the
peak of performance - entering new dimensions on the race track!
This manual will serve as a guide to keeping your GP2-890RR in race-ready shape.

higher setting may help keep the motorcycle
more stable. However, too high of a setting in
tight and twisty sections may cost valuable
agility and precision.
Adjust Damper Firmness
1. Rotate the adjusting knob Eclockwise to the
last detectable click.
2. Adjust to the desired  rmness by turning the
adjusting knob counter-clockwise.
• The Adjustment Range is 1-24 clicks
