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.
