– Shift into neutral; pull the lower chain section with specified weight



Guideline

Weight of chain wear measurement

15 kg (33 lb.)

– Measure distance



of 18 chain links in the lower chain section.

Info

Chain wear is not always even, so you should repeat this measurement at
different chain positions.

Maximum distance



at the longest

chain section

272 mm (10.71 in)

» If distance



is greater than the specified measurement:

– Replace the chain.

Info

When the chain is replaced, the rear sprocket and engine sprocket
should also be changed.
New chains wear out faster on old, worn sprockets.
For safety reasons, the chain has no chain joint.

Cleaning the chain

Warning

Danger of accidents Oil or grease on the tires reduces their grip.
– Remove oil and grease with a suitable cleaning material.

Warning

Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to oil or grease on the brake discs.
– Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease, and clean them with brake cleaner when necessary.

Warning

Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.

Info

The service life of the chain depends largely on its maintenance.

Checking the rear hub rubber dampers

Info

The engine power is transmitted from the rear sprocket to the rear wheel via 6 rubber dampers. They eventually wear out during
operation. If the rubber dampers are not changed in time, the rear sprocket carrier and the rear hub will be damaged.

– Remove the rear wheel. (

p. 66)

100271-10

– Check bearing



» If the bearing is damaged or worn:

– Replace the bearings.

– Check rubber dampers



of the rear hub for damage and wear.

» If the rubber dampers of the rear hub are damaged or worn:

– Change all rubber dampers in the rear hub.

100272-10

– Lay the rear wheel on a workbench with the rear sprocket facing upwards and insert

the wheel spindle in the hub.

– To check play



, hold the rear wheel tight and try to rotate the rear sprocket.

Info

Measure the play on the outside of the rear sprocket.

Play in rubber dampers, rear wheel

≤ 5 mm (≤ 0.2 in)

» If play



is larger than the specified value:

– Change all rubber dampers in the rear hub.

– Install the rear wheel. (

p. 66)

13.9

Checking the spoke tension

Warning

Danger of accidents Instable handling due to incorrect spoke tension.
– Ensure that the spoke tension is correct.

Info

A loose spoke causes wheel imbalance and rapidly leads to more loose spokes.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.

400694-01

– Briefly strike each spoke with a screwdriver blade.

Info

The frequency of the tone is a function of the spoke length and spoke diam-
eter.
If you hear different tone frequencies from individual spokes of the same
length and thickness, this is an indication of different spoke tensions.

You should hear a high note.

10/REAR WHEEL

» If the spoke tensions differ:

– Correct the spoke tension.

13.10

Checking the rim run-out

Warning

Danger of accidents Instable handling due to incorrect spoke tension.
– Ensure that the spoke tension is correct.

Info

A loose spoke can cause wheel imbalance, which leads to more loose spokes in a short time.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.

400998-01

– Check the axial run-out and radial run-out of the rim.

Axial run-out

outside of the rim joint

< 1.8 mm (< 0.071 in)

Radial run-out

outside of the rim joint

< 1.8 mm (< 0.071 in)

» If the measured value is greater than the specified value:

– Center the rim.

Info

Center the rim by tightening the spoke nipple on the opposite side of
the rim run-out. Change the rim if it is excessively deformed.

– Correct the spoke tension.

Removing the battery

Warning

Risk of injury Battery acid and battery gases cause serious cauterization.
– Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
– Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
– Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
– Keep the battery away from sparks or open fire. Charge only in well ventilated rooms.
– Flush with copious amounts of water in case of skin contact. If battery acid comes into contact with the eyes, flush the

eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the seat. (

Recharging the battery

Warning

eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Warning

Environmental hazard Battery parts and acid are harmful to the environment.
– Do not discard batteries with the household trash. Dispose of a defective battery in an environmentally compatible manner.

Give the battery to your KTM dealer or to a recycling center that accepts used batteries.

Warning

Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.

Info

Even when there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, which means that the acid level does not need to be checked.

– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the battery. (
