Warning
Danger of accidents The maximum allowable payload is 3 kg.
–
Aways ensure that the maximum allowable payload of the tank rucksack of 3 kg is not exceeded under
any circumstances. Check the rucksack regularly for the tightness of fit.
Warning
Danger of accidents Loading luggage can significantly affect the handling characteristics.
–
When the tank rucksack is fitted, the handling characteristics, as well as the cornering and braking
characteristics, may change due to greater crosswind sensitivity, especially when they are fully laden.
Take care in strong winds. Due to the changed handling characteristics, approach the permitted maxi-
mum speed of 130 km/h slowly.
Tip
Use warm soapy water and a soft, clean cloth to clean the tank rucksack. Curd soap and a soft brush are
suitable for the zips. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or rough cleaning utensils.
Stiff zips can be loosened using some talcum powder.
Info
Textiles may undergo slight color changes and fade if exposed to prolonged and intense sunlight. This can-
not be avoided despite the use of high quality materials which is why KTM accepts no liability for this. We
thank you for your understanding.
