V01271-10
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 neutral or idle position is between the first
and second gears. First gear is used for starting off or
for steep inclines.
The operating temperature is reached when 5 bars of
the temperature indicator light 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.
Only accelerate up to a speed suitable for the road surface and
weather conditions. Particularly 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 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 clutch lever
and press the start button/emergency OFF switch into the
lower position . The transmission must not be shifted into
neutral.
Switch off the engine if running at idle speed or stationary 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 malfunction indicator lamp lights up during a trip,
please contact an authorized KTM workshop as soon as possi-
ble.
