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.
