• Page 41: Fuse (Mxc/Exc)

  Replace a blown fuse only with an equivalent one. If a new fuse that has just been installed gets blown again, you are strongly advised to have it inspected by a KTM dealer. The fuse capacity is 10 Ampere. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS A STRONGER FUSE ALLOWED TO BE INSTALLED OR A FUSE ALLOWED TO BE “REPAIRED”.

• Page 42: Cooling System

  – EXTREME CLIMATE CONDITIONS OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MAY CAUSE OVER- HEATING PROBLEMS. TO AVOID THIS, AN ELECTRIC BLOWER [4] IS OFFERED FOR MODELS WITH ELECTRIC STARTERS (ASK YOUR KTM DEALER) Checking the coolant level The coolant should be 10 mm (0.4 in) above the radiator fins when the engine is cold (see diagram).
