MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE »
Changing the original position of the clutch lever
The adjusting screw [1] can be used for individual adjustment of the original
position of the clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position
for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise reduces the distance between
the clutch lever and the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise
increases the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH LEVER POSITION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITHIN CER-
TAIN LIMITS. ONLY TURN THE ADJUSTING SCREW MANUALLY AND NEVER APPLY
EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Checking the oil level of the hydraulic clutch
To check the oil level in the master cylinder of the clutch remove the cover.
For this purpose, remove screws [2] and cover [3] together with the rubber
boot [4]. The oil level in the horizontal-standing master cylinder should be
4 mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, add SAE 10 biodegradable hydraulic oil (Motorex clutch fluid
75), available from your authorized KTM workshop.
KTM USES BIODEGRADABLE, HYDRAULIC MINERAL OIL TO ACTUATE THE HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH. DO NOT MIX THIS OIL WITH ANY OTHER HYDRAULIC OIL. ALWAYS USE
ORIGINAL KTM HYDRAULIC OIL (AVAILABLE FROM YOUR AUTHORIZED KTM WORK-
SHOP) TO MAKE SURE YOUR CLUTCH OPERATES SMOOTHLY.
NEVER REFILL WITH BRAKE FLUID.
Checking and adjusting the throttle cable play *
When starting to turn the throttle grip, you should feel an initial backlash of
3-5 mm (0.12-0.2 in).
To adjust, loosen the counter nut [5], turn the adjusting screw [6] as needed
and tighten the counter nut again.
Make sure that the throttle grip will return to the idle position automatically
once you let go of it.
To check the correctness of this setting, start the engine, turn the handlebar
left and right, in both cases as far as it will go. This must not cause any changes
in idling speed. Otherwise, you have to increase the backlash of the throttle
cable.
