Oil change and bleeding of the oil system (EGS)*
NOTE: For improved cooling of the engine oil the front pipe of the frame is inter-
grated into the oil circuit. When changing the oil, the engine oil has also to be
drained from the front pipe.
The engine oil change is to be carried out when the engine is still warm.
WARNING
A
N ENGINE HAVING BEEN RUN WARM, AND THE ENGINE OIL IN IT ARE VERY HOT - DO NOT
BURN YOURSELF
.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface. Remove the two plugs (
1 and 2),
and drain oil into a container. Remove cover, unscrew plug
3 at the lower end of
the frame tube and drain oil.
!
CAUTION
!
T
HE PLUG A NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE CRANKCASE MUST NOT BE REMOVED
, THIS IS PART
OF THE BY
-PASS VALVE.
Clean all 3 plugs thoroughly with a fireproof solvent and compressed air, in order
to remove the metal abrasion. After all the oil has drained through, clean raised
and flat faces and install plugs with seals. Tighten plug
1 with 30 Nm (22 ft.lb)
and plug
2 and 3 with 20 Nm (15 lb.ft).
Remove oil dipstick on the clutch cover, fill with 2,0 litre engine oil (Shell
Advance Ultra 4) and attach plug again.
!
CAUTION
!
I
F THE ENGINE OIL HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM THE FRAME TUBE
, YOU MUST BLEED THE
OIL SYSTEM
!
To allow the air to escape from the frame tube, remove plug
4 next to the stee-
ring head. Start engine and let it run in idle (1-2 minutes) until oil escapes at the
bore
B. As soon as oil starts to escape, turn off the engine, and mount plug
together with the seal.
!
CAUTION
!
D
O NOT REV UP THE ENGINE DURING THE BLEEDING PROCEDURE BECAUSE NOT ALL THE
LUBRICATING POINTS WILL ALREADY HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED WITH SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS OF OIL
.
Warm up engine, check engine oil level and refill up to the marking MAX. Finally,
check the oil system for leaks.
NOTE: Dispose of used oil properly! Under no circumstances may used oil be dis-
posed of in the sewage system or in the open countrysize. 1 liter used oil contami-
nates 1.000.000 liters water.
Changing the fine screen filter (EGS)*
Replace the fine screen filter when changing the engine oil. To do so, loosen the
three screws and remove the cover
5. Loosen the fine screen filter with an oil fil-
ter wrench; you will be able to unscrew it the rest of the way with your bare
hand. Let engine oil flow out of the main frame tube.
Clean sealing surfaces on the frame tube
6, fill new fine screen filter with engine
oil, and oil rubber seal
7. Replace fine screen filter and screw it back in place,
your bare hand will do. Start motor, bleed oil system (see Changing the Engine
Oil) and make sure fine screen filter does not leak.
!
CAUTION
!
–USE ONLY ORIGINAL KTM FINE SCREEN FILTERS. USING ANOTHER FILTER BRAND CAN
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE
