ENGLISH 3 IMPORTANT LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITED GUARANTEE INFORMATION » KTM sports motorcycles are designed and constructed to resist the usual wear and tear of normal use in competitions. The motorcycles comply with the regulations and categories currently in effect with the leading international motorcycle associations. The service, care and operating instructions for the engine and chassis specified in the owner's manual must be observed to ensure that the bike runs smoothly and to avoid premature wear. An improperly tuned chassis can lead to damage and breakage of the chassis components. The service work specified in the "Lubrication and Maintenance Schedule" must be performed and service records must be kept for warranty documentation. Lack of proper service and maintenance records or documentation could void warranty. The fuels and lubricants specified in the owner's manual or those of an equal quality must be used in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The warranty or guarantee shall become void for damage and consequential damage caused by manipu- lations or conversions to the motorcycle. The use of the motorcycle under extreme conditions, e.g. on extremely muddy and wet terrain, can lead to higher than average wear on components such as the drive train or the brakes. In this case it may become necessary to service or replace wear parts before the service limit specified in the maintenance schedule has been reached. This motorcycle is only authorized for public roads in the original homologated (throttled) version. Without this performance restriction (i.e. dethrottled), this motorcycle is only authorized to be driven off-road but not on public roads. The 625 SXC model is designed for off-road endurance competitions (Enduro) and not predominantly for motocross racing. The SMC models are only allowed on public roads in the original homologated (throttled) version. Without this performance restriction (i.e. dethrottled), these models are only allowed to be driven in Supermoto competitions but not on public roads. No warranty will be assumed if the bike is used in races or competitions. In accordance with the international quality management ISO 9001 standard, KTM uses quality assurance processes that lead to the highest possible product quality.

ENGLISH 5 SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS » Chassis number The chassis number is stamped on the right side of the steering head tube. Write this number into the relevant area on page 1. Engine number, engine type The engine number and engine type are stamped on the right hand side of the engine below the chain sprocket. Write this number into the relevant area on page 1.

ENGLISH 6 OPERATION INSTRUMENTS » Clutch lever The clutch lever [1] is located on the left side of the handlebar. The adjusting screw [A] is used to change the original position of the clutch lever (see maintenance work on chassis and engine). Hand decompression lever The hand decompression lever [2] is only used in two special cases: a) When the engine stalled. It is possible that the starter motor is not able to crank the engine on the next attempt. This is due to the fact that the automatic decompressor doesn’t work properly. If this happens, pull the manual decompression lever and start again. Afterwards normal starting will be possible. b) When you want to push the motorcycle. While pushing, pull the hand decompression lever to make it easier to get the engine going. Hand brake lever (SXC) The hand brake lever [3] is mounted on the handlebars on the right and actu- ates the front wheel brake. The adjusting screw [B] can be used to change the basic position of the hand brake lever (see "Maintenance"). Hand brake lever (SMC) The hand brake lever [3] is mounted on the right side of the handlebar. The basic position of the handbrake lever can be changed in 4 steps (see Maintenance work). Indicator lamps The green control lamp [4] flashes when the indicator is working in the same rhythm as the flashing indicator. The blue control lamp [5] lights up when the high beam is on. The green indicator lamp [6] lights up when the neutral gear is selected. 1 A 2 B 3 4 5 6 3

It is used to meas- ure the length of a trip or the distance between 2 refueling stops. TR1 is linked to A1 (average speed 1). The calculation of these figures is activated by the first impulse received from the wheel sensor (when the front wheel starts to turn) and stops 3 seconds after the last impulse is received (when the front wheel has stopped). The TR1, A1 and S1 figures are automatically cleared after passing 999.9. + button no function – button no function briefly press button changes to the next display mode hold button 3 secs. clears the TR1, S1, A1 figures SPEED / TR2 display mode (tripmaster 2) The tripmaster 2 is always active and counts to 999.9.
