Cleaning the air filter *
The air filter must be cleaned prior to each race or whenever dust has accu-
mulated. To clean, lift the filter box cover
(see illustration) and pull off towards the front.
Detach the bottom of the filter retaining bracket
2, tilt aside and remove
the throttle cap
3 and the air filter 4 and filter support 5 from the filter
box. The SX models do not have a throttle cap.

CAUTION
!
DO NOT CLEAN THE AIR FILTER WITH FUEL OR PETROLEUM SINCE THESE WILL DAMAGE

. KTM RECOMMENDS THE PRODUCTS MADE BY MOTOREX FOR AIR FILTER
MAINTENANCE
. FOR CLEANING PURPOSES AND TO OIL THE AIR FILTER.
Thoroughly wash the air filter in special cleaning fluid and allow it to dry
well. Only press out the filter, do not wring it out under any circumstances.
Oil the dry air filter with a high-grade filter oil. Also clean the air filter box.
Check the carburetor collar for damage and that it is filled correctly.
Mount the air filter on the filter support. Insert the air filter and filter sup-
port in the throttle cap and mount them in the filter box, aligning in a cen-
tral position, and fix with the filter retaining bracket.
Checking the adjustment of the hand decompression release
cable *
Start the engine and, at idling speed, slowly pull the hand decompression
lever until you can feel the thumping of the rocker arm on the lever. The
backlash until said thumping should be approx. 10mm, measured at the
lever's outer end. If necessary, correct this backlash.
To adjust, move back the protective cover
5, loosen the counter nut 6 and
correct the adjustment screw
7 accordingly. Tighten counter nut and push
back protective cover.
!
CAUTION
!
THE SETTING OF THE DECOMPRESSION CABLE SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARY. IF THERE
IS NO PLAY IN THE DEKO
-LEVER, THIS CAN RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE.
NOTE:
No adjustment need be made to the automatic decompressor.
Adjusting the throttle cables *
The throttle grip should always provide for a backlash of 3-5mm. Besides,
with the engine running, the idling speed must not change if you turn the
handlebar all the way to the left or right.
To adjust the throttle cables, dismount the seat and the tank together with
spoilers. Slide back the protection cover
8. Loosen the counternut 9 and
turn the adjusting screw
bk accordingly. Turning the adjusting screw
counterclockwise will reduce the backlash, turning the adjusting screw
clockwise will increase the backlash.
Tighten the counternut and check whether the throttle grip can be
actuated smoothly. Mount tank and seat.
