KTM 990 SUPER DUKE - Manual (Page 37)

ALL MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT WORK MARKED WITH AN ASTERISK * REQUIRES SPECIAL TECHNICAL SKILLS. IN YOUR
OWN INTEREST, HAVE THIS WORK PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP, WHERE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL BE SERV-
ICED BY SPECIALLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS.
– DO NOT CLEAN THE MOTORCYCLE WITH A POWER WASHER OTHERWISE WATER WILL GET INTO THE BEARINGS, ELECTRIC SOCKET
CONNECTORS, ETC.
– USE SPECIAL KTM SCREWS WITH THE CORRECT THREAD LENGTH TO FASTEN THE SPOILER TO THE TANK. MOUNTING OTHER
SCREWS OR LONGER SCREWS COULD PUNCTURE THE TANK AND CAUSE FUEL TO LEAK OUT.
– IF YOU DISCONNECT SOCKET CONNECTORS WITH SELF-LOCKING NUTS, REPLACE THEM BEFORE REMOUNTING. IF NO NEW
SELF-LOCKING NUTS ARE AVAILABLE, APPLY LOCTITE 243 TO THE THREAD OF THE OLD NUTS. IF THE THREAD IS DAMAGED,
REPLACE THE SCREWS AND NUTS.
– DO NOT USE TOOTHED DISKS OR SPLIT WASHERS FOR THE ENGINE FASTENING BOLTS SINCE THEY WILL WORK THEIR WAY
INTO THE FRAME COMPONENTS AND BECOME LOOSE. ALWAYS USE SELF-LOCKING NUTS.
– LET THE MOTORCYCLE COOL DOWN BEFORE SERVICING TO AVOID BEING BURNED.
– PROPERLY DISPOSE OF OILS GREASE, FILTERS, FUEL, CLEANSERS, ETC. OBSERVE THE REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE IN YOUR
COUNTRY.
– NEVER POUR USED OIL IN THE SEWER OR DISPOSE OF IT OUTDOORS. 1 LITER OF USED OIL WILL POLLUTE 1,000,000 LITERS
OF WATER.
