10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 79
402299-11
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.).
Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch lever, and open the throttle.
Info
You can see the positions of the 6 forward gears in the figure. The idle position
is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting off or for
steep inclines.
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back
so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions. Par-
ticularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in order to shift down.
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and
open the throttle or shift again.
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
Switch off the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time.
If the oil pressure warning lamp lights up during a trip, stop immediately and switch
off the engine. Contact an authorized KTM workshop.
If the engine warning lamp lights up during a trip, please contact an authorized KTM
workshop as soon as possible.
Info
From the flash rhythm you can deduce a two-digit number, the so-called blink
code. The blink code tells you which component is affected by a malfunction.
If the general warning lamp lights up during a trip, the matrix display shows a mes-
sage for 10 seconds.
