9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 36
Pull the choke lever out as far as possible.
(All 250/300 models, XCW US, XCW Six Days US)
Press the electric starter button or press the kick starter robustly through its full range.
Info
Do not turn the throttle.
(125 XCW EU)
Press the kick starter robustly through its full range.
Info
Do not turn the throttle.
9.3 Start off
Info
Before riding, switch on the lights if your vehicle is equipped with a lighting system. This will make it easier for other road
users to see you.
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, riding
Warning
Danger of accidentsIf you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel blocks and the engine races.
Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed.
Info
If 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 and for steep inclines.
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.). To do so, release the throttle while simultaneously
pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever and open the throttle.
If the choke function was activated, deactivate the choke function after the engine has warmed 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.
Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle abrupt throttle opening increases fuel consumption.
To shift down, apply the brakes and close the throttle at the same time.
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and either open the throttle or shift again.
Switch off the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time.
Guideline
2 min
Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. As a result the gear oil, engine and cooling system heat up.
Ride at a low engine speed instead of at a high engine speed with a slipping clutch.
9.5 Braking
Warning
Danger of accidentsExcessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidentsA spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency.
Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be
glad to help.)
