Introduction

We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a KTM motorcycle.

You are now the owner of a state-of-the-art sport motorcycle that guarantees to bring

you lots of fun and enjoyment, provided that you clean and maintain it appropriately.

Before you go for your first ride, be sure to read this manual carefully and thoroughly in

order to familiarize yourself with how to operate your new motorcycle and with its

characteristics, even if this means that you will have to dedicate some of your valuable

time to this task. Only by doing so will you learn how to tune your motorcycle to your

specific needs and how to protect yourself against injury. Besides, this manual contains

important information on motorcycle maintenance. At the time this manual was typeset,

it was up-to-date with the latest state of this production series. It cannot be completely

ruled out, however, that minor discrepancies may exist resulting from further design

upgrades of these motorcycles.This manual is an important part of your motorcycle and

should be passed on to any subsequent owner in case you decide to sell it.

We expressly point out that work marked with an asterisk in the chapter "Maintenance

work on the chassis and engine" must be performed by an authorized KTM workshop If

maintenance work should become necessary during a competition it should be performed

by a trained mechanic. KTM strongly recommends that all service work to your KTM

should be performed by a qualified KTM dealer.

The designations "left, right, front, rear“ always refer to the direction of travel.

For your own safety, use KTM-approved parts and accessories only. KTM is not liable

for damage that arises in connection with the use of other products.

Take special care to follow the recommended run in, inspection, and maintenance

intervals. Heeding these guidelines will significantly increase the life of your motorcycle.

Off-road motorcycle driving is a wonderful sport and we hope that you will be able to

enjoy it to the full. It may, however, involve potential problems for the environment or

lead to conflicts with others. These problems or conflicts can be avoided if the motorcycle

is used responsibly. To safeguard the future of motorcycle sports, make sure that you use

the motorcycle in accordance with the law, show that you are environmentally conscious

and respect the rights of others.

We wish you a lot of fun when driving !

IMPORTANT LIMITED WARRANTY AND

LIMITED GUARANTEE INFORMATION

The KTM 950 Adventure models are designed to withstand normal use on

roads and easy terrain (unpaved roads).

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.

The service work described in the "Lubrication and maintenance schedule“

must be performed by an authorized KTM workshop that can verify having

attended the respective training programs. Only these workshops will have

trained personnel qualified to service the 950 Adventure. The service work

must be recorded in the service manual, otherwise the warranty will become

null and void.

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 manipulations 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.

In accordance with the international quality management

ISO 9001 standard, KTM uses quality assurance processes

that lead to the highest possible product quality.
