KTM 990 SUPER DUKE - Manual (Page 52)

– If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tighten-
ing torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose wheel spindle may
lead to an unstable driving behavior of your motorcycle.
– After mounting the rear wheel, keep operating the footbrake until the pressure point returns.
– It is very important to keep the brake disk free from oil and grease, otherwise the brak-
ing effect would be strongly reduced.

Tires, air pressure
Tire type, tire condition, and how much air pressure the tires have in them affect the way
your motorcycle rides, and they must therefore be checked whenever you’re getting ready to
go anywhere on your motorcycle.
For driving safety and maximum handling, only use tires authorized by KTM (tire releases
are available on the Internet at www.ktm.com) corresponding to the „ZR“ speed index (over
240 KPH). Other tires can have a negative effect on the motorcycle's handling (e.g. can
cause it to „wobble“ at higher speeds).
