8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
22
Info
If the motorcycle is unwilling to start, the cause can be old fuel in the float chamber. The flammable ele-
ments of the fuel evaporate after a long time of standing.
If the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.
Preliminary work
– Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand. ( p. 40)
The motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week
– Empty the carburetor float chamber.
– Turn the knurled screw on the fuel tap all the way counterclockwise.
Fuel can flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
The engine is cold
(50 SX, FACTORY EDITION)
– Pull the choke knob up all the way to the stop and turn it by a max. ¼ turn.
(50 SX MINI)
– Push the choke lever up all the way to the stop.
– Forcefully step on the kick starter lever, pushing it all the way forward.
Info
Do not open the throttle.
Final steps
– Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 40)
8.3 Starting off
Info
The plug-in stand must be removed before riding.
– Open the throttle carefully.
8.4 Riding
Info
If unusual noises occur while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized
KTM workshop.
– If the choke function has been activated, deactivate it after the engine has warmed up.
– 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 considerably lower.
– Your child should always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abruptly opening the
throttle increases fuel consumption.
– Your child should switch off the engine if prolonged operation at idle speed or while stationary is imminent.
