Adjusting the handlebar tilt

Loosen the screws

[2]. Adjust the handlebar and tighten the screws to 20 Nm.

Make sure the handlebar instruments do not touch the fuel tank when the handlebar is com-

pletely turned.

Tilting the handlebar too far back will reduce the steering angle since the handlebar instru-

ments will touch the fuel tank

If the handlebar is tilted too far back, the handlebar instruments may damage the fuel tank.

Changing the basic position of the clutch lever

The basic position of the clutch lever can be modified by turning the adjusting screw

[1].

This lets you adjust the best clutch lever position for any hand size.

To adjust, pull the clutch lever towards the front. Turning the adjusting screw in a clockwise

direction will move the clutch lever away from the driver. Turning the adjusting screw in a

counterclockwise direction will move the clutch lever towards the driver.

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

The oil level should be between the „MIN“ and „MAX“ marks with the master cylinder in a

horizontal position.

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 useoriginal KTM hydraulic oil (available from

your authorized KTM workshop) to make sure your clutch operates smoothly.

Never refill with brake fluid.
