Warning
• Info
I Even when there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, which means that the acid level does not need to be checked.

20 WATER PUMP, COOLING SYSTEM 201
20.1 Cooling ~am

Water pump  in the engine circulates the coolant.
The water flow through the radiator is controlled as a function of the coolant temper·
ature. The cooling system is divided into two circuits. In the warming·up phase of the
engine, the coolant flows through the small cooling circuit. This heats up the engine
quickly. The thermostat  warms up and opens the opening to the radiator (large cool·
ing circuit). This keeps the engine temperature constant.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve
in radiator cap  . This ensures that operating the vehicle at the specified coolant tem·
perature will not result in a risk of malfunctions.
1120 °C (248 OF)
Cooling is effected by the air stream.

The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Oirty cooling fins also reduce the cool·
ing effect.
The radiator fan provides extra cooling. It is controlled by a thermoswitch.

26 CLEANING, CARE 222
28.1 Clunl!lllhi IIIIIID!!=JI:I.

Note
Material damal! Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.
- When cleaning the vehicle with a pressure cleaner, do not point the water jet directly onto electrical components, connectors,
cables, bearings, etc. Maintain a minimum distance of 60 em between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component.
Excessive pressure can cause malfunctions or destroy these parts.
Warninl
• Infa
I If you clean the motorcycle regularly, its value and appearance will be maintained oyer a long period.
Avoid direct sunshine on the motorcycle during cleaning.
- Close off the exhaust system to prevent water from entering.

- First remove coarse dirt particles with a gentle spray of water.
- Spray very dirty areas with a normal motorcycle cleaner and then clean with a
paintbrush.
I Motorcycle cleaner (.. p. 293)
• Infa
I Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge.
401061-01 Never apply motorcycle cleaner to the dry vehicle; always rinse with water
first.
- After rinsing the motorcycle with a gentle spray of water, allow it to dry thoroughly.
- Remove the plug from the exhaust system.
Warninl
Danler of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to a wet or dirty brake
system.
- Clean or dry a dirty or wet brake system by riding and braking gently.
- After cleaning, ride a short distance until the engine reaches operating tempera-
ture.
• Inlo
I The heat produced causes water at inaccessible locations in the engine and
brake system to evaporate.
- After the motorcycle has cooled off, lubricate all moving parts and bearings.
- Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) with
anti-corrosion materials.
I Cleaning and preserving materials for metal, rubber and plastic (.. p. 292)
- Treat all plastic parts and powder-coated parts with a mild cleaning and care prod-
uct.
Paint cleaner and polish for high-gloss and matte finishes, bare metal and plastic
surfaces (.. p. 293)
(EXG USA)
- Lubricate the ignition switch.
I Universal oil spray (r p. 293)

26 CLEANING, CARE 223
28.2 Chicks and mainlllnanci step! for winlllr 0plration

• Info
I If the motorcycle is used in the winter, salt can be expected on the roads. Precautions need to be taken against road salt corro-
sion.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water after riding. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of
salt.
- Clean the motorcycle. (.. p. 222)

- Clean the brake system.
• Info
I After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly wash the brake calipers and
brake linings with cold water and dry carefully. This should be done after
the parts are cooled down and while they are installed.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water
and dry it well.
40106{}-()1
- Treat the engine, swingarm, and all other bright and zinc-plated parts (except for
the brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion inhibitor.
• Info
I Corrosion inhibitor is not permitted to come in contact with the brake discs
as this would greatly reduce the braking force.

27 STORAGE 224
StOll!!
Warning
0'
Danger poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
- Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immedi-
ately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, con-
• Info
I If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following steps.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you
should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the
start of the new season.
- Clean the motorcycle. ( r p. 222)
~
- Change the engine oil and oil filter and clean the oil screens. (r p. 204)
- Check the antifreeze and coolant level. ( r p. 201)
- When refueling for the last time before taking the motorcycle out of service, add
111·~ 6
fuel additive.
I Fuel additive (r p. 292)
- Check the tire air pressure. ( r p. 101)
40105B-Ol
- Remove the battery. ( r p. 114)
- Charge the battery. ( r p. 115)
Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without 0 ... 35 'C (32 ... 95 'F)
direct sunlight
- Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in tem-
perature.
• Info
I KTM recommends raising the motorcycle.

- Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materi-
als since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
• Info
I Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot
warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion condenses
and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.
27.2 Prep!!rl!ll for USI aftlr l1li11.1

- Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( r p. 12)
- Install the battery. ( r p. 115)
- Refuel.
- Perform checks and maintenance work when preparing the vehicle for use.
- Take a test ride.

33 STANDARDS 308
JASOT903 MA
Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear-
lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specifi-
cation. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the fore-
ground for motorcycle engines. In most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the same oil as the engine. The
JASO MA Standard meets these special requirements.
SAE
The SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their vis-
cosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
