Oil Change Interval:
KTM recommends oil changes every 15-25 hours of riding, or more frequently for severe use (e.g., racing).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Clean air filter every 5-10 hours of riding, depending on conditions. Replace filter element as needed.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended every 25-30 hours of riding. Inspect at every oil change.
Valve Adjustment:
Recommended every 25-30 hours of riding or as indicated by performance changes. Check valve clearance at every major service.
Suspension Service:
Fork oil change: 25-30 hours. Shock absorber oil change: 40-50 hours. Full fork/shock service: 50-75 hours.
