The front and rear wheels must be fitted with tires with similar tread patterns to prevent loss of control over the vehicle.WarningDanger of accidentsCritical riding behavior due to inappropriate riding. Adapt your riding speed to the road conditions and your riding ability.WarningDanger of accidentsAccident risk caused by presence of a passenger. Your vehicle is not designed to carry passengers. Do not ride with a passenger.WarningDanger of accidentsFailure of brake system. If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. The rear brake may fail due to overheating. Take

your foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.WarningDanger of accidentsUnstable riding behavior. Do not exceed the maximum permissible weight and axle loads.

WarningRisk of misappropriationUsage by unauthorized persons. Never leave the vehicle while the engine is running. Secure the vehicle against use by unauthorized persons.

InfoWhen using your motorcycle, remember that others may feel disturbed by excessive noise.

Make sure that the pre-delivery inspection work has been carried out by an authorized KTM workshop.You receive a delivery certificate and the service record at vehicle handover.

Before your first trip, read the entire operating instructions carefully. Get to know the controls. Adjust the basic position of the clutch lever. ( p. 78)(All EXCF models)

Adjust the free travel of the hand brake lever. ( p. 81)(All XCF-W models)

Adjust the basic position of the hand brake lever. ( p. 81) Adjust the basic position of the foot brake lever.x ( p. 85) Adjust the basic position of the shift lever.x ( p. 107) Get used to handling the motorcycle on a suitable piece of land before making a longer trip.

InfoOffroad, you should be accompanied by another person on another machine so that you can help each other.

Try also to ride as slowly as possible and in a standing position to get a better feeling for the vehicle. Do not make any offroad trips that over-stress your ability and experience.

8 PREPARING FOR USE 39 Hold the handlebar firmly with both hands and keep your feet on the footrests when riding. If you carry any baggage, make sure it is fixed firmly as close as possible to the center of the vehicle and ensure even weight dis-

tribution between the front and rear wheels.

InfoMotorcycles react sensitively to any changes of weight distribution.

Do not exceed the overall maximum permitted weight and the axle loads.GuidelineMaximum permissible overall weight 335 kg (739 lb.)Maximum permissible front axle load 145 kg (320 lb.)Maximum permissible rear axle load 190 kg (419 lb.)

Run in the engine. ( p. 39)

8.2 Running-in the engine During the running-in phase, do not exceed the specified engine speed and engine performance.

GuidelineMaximum engine speed

During the first operating hour 7,000 rpmMaximum engine performance

During the first 3 operating hours 75 % Avoid fully opening the throttle!

8.3 Preparing the vehicle for difficult riding conditionsInfoUse of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably morerapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be neces-sary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service.

KTM recommends that you use the specified engine oil for difficult riding conditions and to increase performance.Engine oil (SAE 10W/60) (00062010035) ( p. 126)

Clean the air filter and air filter box.x ( p. 69)InfoCheck the air filter approx. every 30 minutes.

Seal the air filter box.x ( p. 70) Additionally secure the rubber grip. ( p. 78) Check the electrical connector for humidity and corrosion and to ensure it is firmly seated.

If humidity, corrosion or damage is found: Clean and dry the connector, or change it if necessary.

Difficult riding conditions are: Rides on dry sand. ( p. 40) Rides on wet sand. ( p. 40) Rides on wet and muddy surfaces. ( p. 41) Rides at high temperature and slow speed. ( p. 41) Rides at low low temperature or in snow. ( p. 41)

9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 429.1 Checks and maintenance work when preparing for use

InfoBefore riding the vehicle, always check its condition and operating safety.The vehicle must be in perfect technical condition when used.

Check the engine oil level. ( p. 108) Check the electrical system. Check the brake fluid level of the front brake. ( p. 82) Check the rear brake fluid level. ( p. 86) Check the front brake linings. ( p. 83) Check the rear brake linings. ( p. 87) Check that the brake system is functioning properly. Check the coolant level. ( p. 104) Check for chain dirt accumulation. ( p. 73) Check the chain, rear sprocket, engine sprocket and chain guide. ( p. 75) Check the chain tension. ( p. 74) Check the tire condition. ( p. 92) Check the tire air pressure. ( p. 93) Check the spoke tension. ( p. 93) Clean the dust boots of the fork legs. ( p. 56) Bleed fork legs. ( p. 56) Check the air filter. Check the settings of all controls and ensure that they can be operated smoothly. Check all screws, nuts, and hose clamps regularly for tightness. Check the fuel supply.

9.2 StartingDangerDanger of poisoningExhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and/or death. When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in an enclosed

space without an effective exhaust extraction system.

NoteEngine failureHigh engine speeds in cold engines have a negative effect on the service life of the engine. Always warm up the engine at low engine speeds.

400733-01

Press the electric starter button or press the kick starter robustly through its fullrange.

InfoPress the electric starter button for at most 5 seconds. Wait for a least 5seconds before trying again.Warning lamp FI lights up briefly as a functional control when starting.

9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 439.3 Starting off

InfoIf your bike has lights, switch them on before riding. You will then be seen earlier by other motorists.When you are riding, the side stand must be folded up and secured with the rubber band.

Pull the clutch lever, engage 1st gear, release the clutch lever slowly and simultaneously open the throttle carefully.

9.4 Shifting, ridingWarningDanger of accidentsIf you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel can lock up. Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed. The engine races and the rear wheel can lock up.

InfoIf you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine, and contact an authorized KTM workshop.First gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.

When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear. To do so, release the throttle while simulta-neously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch, and open the throttle.

After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back so it is open. This will barely reduce thespeed but fuel consumption will be considerably lower.

Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle abrupt throttle opening increases fuel consumption. To shift down, brake and close the throttle at the same time. Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and open the throttle or shift again. Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.

Guideline 2 min

Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine, and the cooling system. Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping clutch.

9.5 BrakingWarningDanger of accidentsIf you brake too hard, the wheels can lock. Adapt your braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.WarningDanger of accidentsReduced braking efficiency caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake. Check the brake system and do not continue riding. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

WarningDanger of accidentsReduced braking efficiency due to a wet or dirty brake system. Clean or dry a dirty or wet brake system by riding
