KTM 990 - Manual (Page 75)

Changing the original position of the clutch lever
The adjusting screw [1] can be used for individual adjustment of the original position of the
clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise reduces the distance between the clutch lever
and the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise increases the distance between
the clutch lever and the handlebar.
Adjustment of the clutch lever position is only possible within certain limits. Only turn the
adjusting screw manually and never apply excessive force.
Checking the oil level of the hydraulic clutch
To check the oil level in the master cylinder of the clutch remove the cover. For this pur-
pose, remove screws [2] and cover [3] together with the rubber boot [4]. The oil level in the
horizontal-standing master cylinder should be 4 mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, add SAE 10 biodegradable hydraulic oil (Motorex clutch fluid 75), available
from your authorized KTM workshop.
KTM uses biodegradable, hydraulic mineral oil to actuate the hydraulic clutch. Do not mix
this oil with any other hydraulic oil. Always use original KTM hydraulic oil (available from
your authorized KTM workshop) to make sure your clutch operates smoothly.
Never refill with brake fluid.
