Now you own a modern motorcycle that you and your youngster will certainly enjoy, provided that you
service and maintain it properly. This manual contains important information on the operation and main-
tenance of your new KTM motorcycle. It went to press describing your model’s latest state of develop-
ment. Nevertheless, the descriptions may deviate slightly from the current design as our motorcycles are
permanently improved.The Owner's Manual is an integral part of the motorcycle and must be handed over
to the new owner when the motorcycle is sold.
We expressly point out that work marked with an asterisk (*) in the chapter "Maintenance work on the
chassis and engine" must be performed by a KTM workshop. If maintenance work should become neces-
sary during a competition, it must be performed by a trained mechanic.
Please strictly observe the prescribed running-in periods and inspection and maintenance intervals.
Compliance with these instructions will significantly prolong the life of your motorcycle.
Be sure to have the maintenance work carried out by a KTM workshop to avoid losing your right to claim
under the warranty.
For the safety of your child, only use spare parts and accessories approved by KTM. KTM shall not assume
any liability for other products or consequential damage resulting from the use of such products.
When special needs arise, please contact a KTM dealer, who will seek the assistance of the KTM importer
if necessary.
PARENTS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND that the safety of their youngsters always depends on the efforts made
by the parents to ensure that the motorcycle is kept in good working order and only used on safe terrains.
Nevertheless, driving the motorcycle, like driving any other vehicle, involves a potential risk. Therefore,
please make sure that all fundamental precautions are taken. Please also read the „INFORMATION ON
SAFE DRIVING FOR PARENTS“ on page 4.
Riding an off-highway motorcycle is a wonderful form of outdoor recreation and we certainly hope that
you and your youngsters will enjoy it to the full. However, this enjoyable outdoor activity can cause envi-
ronmental problems or lead to conflicts with other people. Responsible use of the motorcycle will prevent
such problems and conflicts. You can contribute to securing the future of motorcycling by making sure
that you and your youngsters only use the motorcycle within the limits established by the applicable laws,
making environmental protection one of your top priorities and never violating other people’s rights.
In this spirit, we hope that you and your youngsters will always safely enjoy your motorcycle!
