IMPORTANT NOTES 5
Use definition (EXC EU)
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles com-
ply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.
Info
The motorcycle is authorized for public road traffic in the homologous (reduced) version only.
In the derestricted version, the motorcycle may only be used in closed off areas remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for the predominant motocross use.
Use definition (XC‑W USA)
KTM sport motorcycles are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The motorcycles com-
ply with currently valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.
Info
The motorcycle must be used only in closed off areas remote from public road traffic.
The motorcycle is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for predominant motocross use.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described
in the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and break-
age of components.
Using the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain 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, inspection and maintenance 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 in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed in the customer's ser-
vice record, since otherwise no warranty claims will be recognized. 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, 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 or loss.
Some spare parts and accessories are specified in brackets in the respective descriptions. Your KTM dealer will be happy to advise
you.
You will find the current KTM PowerParts for your vehicle on the KTM website.
International KTM Website: http://www.ktm.com
Work rules
Special tools are required for some work. These do not come with the vehicle but can be ordered using the number in brackets. E.g.:
Valve spring mounter (59029019000)
When the vehicle is assembled, non-reusable parts (e.g., self-locking screws and nuts, gaskets, seal rings, O-rings, splints, lock wash-
ers) must be replaced with 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. Replace damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or maintenance work, check the roadworthiness of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTES 6
Transport
Note
Danger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.
–Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.
Note
Fire hazard Some vehicle components get very hot when the machine is driven.
–Do not place the vehicle where there are flammable or explosive substances. Do not place objects over the vehicle while it is still
warm from being run. Always let the vehicle cool first.
–Switch off engine.
–Turn handle of the fuel tap to the OFF position. (Figure 500137-10 p. 19)
–Use straps or other suitable devices to secure the motorcycle against accidents or falling over.
Environment
Offroad motorcycling is a wonderful sport and we naturally hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the fullest. However, it is a poten-
tial problem for the environment and can lead to conflicts with other persons. But if you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can
ensure that such problems and conflicts do not have to occur. To protect the future of motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your
motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
Notes/warnings
Pay close attention to the notes/warning.
Info
Various information and warning labels are affixed to the vehicle. Do not remove information/warning labels. If they are miss-
ing, you or others may not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured.
Grades of risks
Danger
Identifies a danger that will immediately and invariably lead to fatal or serious permanent injury if the appropriate measures
are not taken.
Warning
Identifies a danger that is likely to lead to fatal or serious injury if the appropriate measures are not taken.
Note
Identifies a danger that will lead to considerable machine and material damage if the appropriate measures are not taken.
Warning
Identifies a danger that will lead to environmental damage if the appropriate measures are not taken.
Owner's manual
–It is important that you read this owner's manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. It contains useful infor-
mation and many tips on how to operate and handle your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to best customize the motor-
cycle for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury. The owner's manual also contains important information on
servicing the motorcycle.
–The owner's manual is an important component of the motorcycle and should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is
sold.
