2016 KTM 450 SX-F Owner's Manual, It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and maintain your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to cus- tomize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury. Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an authorized KTM dealer. The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.
If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcy- cle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others. When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the respective country.
Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized KTM dealer will be glad to advise you.
2016 KTM 450 SX-F Service Manual
The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized KTM workshop only and confirmed in the customer's Service & Warranty Booklet and in the KTM Dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be consid- ered for damage resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle. Additional information on the guarantee or warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the Service & Warranty Booklet.
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service. It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
