– If using a power washer, do not point the water jet at the electric components, plugs, cables, bearings, carburetor, etc. The high pres-
sure will cause water to penetrate into the components and can cause them to malfunction or lead to premature wear.
– 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.
