KTM 950 - Manual (Page 29)

Fuel, refueling
The LC8 engine requires unleaded fuel with at least RON 95 (USA = Premium PON 91, see
technical specifications engine).
If using lower octane fuel, it is easy to change over to the pre-programmed ignition curve for
80 - 94 octane (RON) (see activating the ignition curve for low-octane fuel).
After refueling, it will take approx. 8 minutes for the fuel warning lamp to switch off and for
TRIP F to automatically reset to 0 and return to the previous display mode.
– Use unleaded fuel with at least RON 95 (USA = Premium RON 91). If using lower octane
fuel, the ignition curve must be changed, otherwise engine damage will occur.
– This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter that will be destroyed if you use
leaded fuel. Always use unleaded fuel.
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to the top (see fig.).
When you close the filler cap, make sure it is correctly positioned.
NOTE:
After refueling, it will take approx. 8 minutes for the fuel warning lamp [1] to switch off and
for TRIP F to automatically reset to 0 and return to the previous display mode. Press the
SET key [2] for 2 seconds to immediately turn off the fuel warning lamp.
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. Extreme caution should be used when han-
dling gasoline. Do not refuel the motorcycle near open flames or burning cigarettes. Always
switch off the engine before refuelling. Be careful not to spill gasoline on the engine or exhaust
pipe while the engine is hot. Wipe up spills promptly. If gasoline is swallowed or splashed
in the eyes, seek a doctor’s advice immediately.
