Changing the original position of the clutch lever
The adjusting screw [1] can be used for individual adjustment of the original
position of the clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position
for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise reduces the distance between
the clutch lever and the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise
increases the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar.
Adjustment of the clutch lever position is only possible within certain limits.
Only turn the adjusting screw manually and never apply excessive force.
Checking the oil level of the hydraulic clutch
To check the oil level in the master cylinder of the clutch remove the cover.
For this purpose, remove screws [2] and cover [3] together with the rubber
boot [4]. The oil level in the horizontal-standing master cylinder should be 4
mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, fill up with biodegradable hydraulic oil SAE 10 (e.g. Motorex
Kupplungsfluid 75).Biodegradable hydraulic oil is available from your KTM
dealer (50ml).
KTM uses biodegradable, hydraulic mineral oil to actuate the hydraulic
clutch. Do not mix this oil with any other hydraulic oil. Always use original
KTM hydraulic oil (available from your authorized KTM workshop) to make
sure your clutch operates smoothly. Never refill with brake fluid.
Bleeding of the hydraulic clutch
To bleed, the cover of the master cylinder of the clutch needs to be removed.
For this purpose, remove screws [2] and take off cover [3] together with rub-
ber bellows [4]. At the slave cylinder of the clutch, remove the bleeder nip-
ple [5]. In its place, mount the bleeder syringe [6] which is filled with SAE
10 hydraulic oil. Refill oil until oil is discharged from the bore [7] of the mas-
ter cylinder in a bubble-free state. Make sure that the oil does not overflow.
The bleeder syringe can be purchased from your KTM dealer.Having completed
the bleeding procedure, you have to verify that the oil level in the master cylin-
der is correct.If necessary, fill up with biodegradable hydraulic oil SAE 10
(e.g. Motorex Kupplungsfluid 75). Biodegradable hydraulic oil is available from
your KTM dealer (50ml).
KTM uses biodegradable, hydraulic mineral oil to actuate the hydraulic
clutch. Do not mix this oil with any other hydraulic oil. Always use original
