[. . . ] When the chain is dry use a chain spray specially made for X-ring chains (Motorex Chainlube 622). ­ NO LUBRICATION IS ALLOWED TO REACH THE REAR TIRE OR THE BRAKE DISK, EITHERWISE THE ROAD ADHERENCE AND THE REAR WHEEL BRAKING EFFECTS WOULD BE STRONGLY REDUCED AND THE MOTORCYCLE COULD EASILY GET OUT OF CONTROL. ­ THE CHAIN DOES NOT HAVE A CHAIN JOINT FOR SAFETY REASONS. ALWAYS HAVE THE CHAIN REPLACED IN AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP WHERE THE SERVICE TECHNICANS HAVE THE REQUIRED RIVETING TOOL. ­ NEVER MOUNT A NORMAL CHAIN JOINT. Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary. Checking the chain for wear To check the chain for wear proceed as follows: Switch the transmission to idle and put a load of approx. 15 kilograms (33 lbs) on the lower part of the chain (see illustration). Now measure the distance between 18 chain rollers on the upper part of the chain. The chain needs to be replaced when the distance is 272 mm (10. 70 in). Since chains do not always wear evenly, repeat the measurement at different parts of the chain. Replace the chain if any X-rings are missing. 15 KG NOTE: If you mount a new chain, the sprockets should also be replaced. New chains wear faster if used on old used sprockets. max. 272 mm 123 16 17 18 MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » General informations about KTM disc brakes BRAKE CALIPERS: The brake calipers of this series "float". This means that the brake calipers are not solidly attached to the caliper support. Thus, the brake pads are always in optimum contact with the brake disc. Secure the screws of the caliper support with Loctite 243 and tighten to 25 Nm. FOR SAFETY REASONS, ALWAYS HAVE MAINTENANCE WORK AND REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP. BRAKE PADS AVAILABLE IN THE ACCESSORY TRADE ARE OFTEN NOT AUTHORIZED FOR OPERATION OF YOUR KTM MOTORCYCLE IN ROAD TRAFFIC. THE BRAKE PADS DESIGN AND FRICTION FACTOR AND THEREFORE THE BRAKING POWER CAN DEVIATE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ORIGINAL KTM BRAKE PADS. IF YOU USE DIFFERENT BRAKE PADS THAN THOSE PROVIDED WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, IT CANNOT BE WARRANTED THAT THEY ARE AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN ROAD TRAFFIC. YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT LONGER COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS AUTHORIZING THE USE OF VEHICLES FOR ROAD TRAFFIC AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS: The brake fluid reservoirs on the front and rear wheel brakes have been designed in such a way that even if the brake pads are worn it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid. There is no reason to remove the reservoir cap under normal conditions. If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately. BRAKE FLUID: KTM fills the brake systems with Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5. 1 brake fluid, one of the best brake fluids that is currently available. We recommend that you continue to use it. DOT 5. 1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether and of an amber color. [. . . ] However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or KTM Sportmotorcycle USA Inc.
