Specification

15 kg (33 lb.)
– Measure the distance
of 18 chain links in the lower chain section.
Info
Chain wear is not always even, so you should repeat this measurement at differ-
ent chain positions.
Maximum distance

chain section
272 mm (10.71 in)
» If the distance
is greater than the specified measurement:
– Have the chain changed.
Info
When the chain is replaced, the rear sprocket and engine sprocket
should also be changed.
New chains wear out faster on old, worn sprockets.
For safety reasons, the chain has no chain joint. Always have the chain
changed in an authorized KTM workshop, where the necessary tool is
available.
