or slippery surfaces without running a risk of having the wheels lock. – The ABS cannot prevent one or both wheels from losing the road grip if the motorcycle is banked during the braking procedure. Although the wheel will not lock, the centrifugal force will cause the wheel to lose traction and cause the motorcycle to crash despite the ABS.
Stopping and parking Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. T o stop the engine, switch off the ignition. Park the motorcycle on a firm surface and lock. – Always park your motorbike on a solid and horizontal surface. – Never leave your motorcycle without supervision as long as the engine is running.
NOTE REGARDING THE CENTER ST AND: W e advise the following procedure to place the motorcycle on the center stand as effortlessly as possible: a) press main stand to ground using foot b) put your weight on the stand stabilizer and pull the motorcycle back by the footrest sup- port (see illustration).
Fuel In the condition at delivery , the LC8 engine requires unleaded fuel with at least RON 95 (USA = Premium PON 91). If using lower octane fuel, it is easy to change over to the pre-programmed ignition curve for 80 - 94 octane (RON) (see activating the ignition curve for low-octane fuel).

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE » 990 ADVENTURE 2006 VITAL CHECKS AND CARE PROCEDURES TO CONDUCTED BY THE OWNER OR THE MECHANIC before each start after every cleaning every 1000 km or after off road us.
– When cleaning the motorcycle, do not use a high pressure cleaning unit if possible, otherwise water will penetrate the bearings, carbu- retor , electric connectors etc. – Do not use toothed washers or spring washers with the engine fastening screws, as these work into the frame parts and keep wor king loose.
Removing and remounting the seat Insert the ignition key in the seat lock and turn in a counterclockwise direction to unlock the seat. Lift the back of the seat and pull off towards the rear . T o remount, fit the nose [1] of the seat in the front, lower the back while pushing towards the front.
Adjusting compression damping of fork Hydraulic compression damping determines the reaction when the fork is compressed. The degree of compression can be adjusted with adjusting screws at the bottom of the fork legs. Carefully pry out the protection cover [1] with a screwdriver and remove.
Adjusting the spring preload on the fork The fork spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screws [4] (wrench size 24 mm) ± 5 mm (0,2 in). T urning in a clockwise direction will increase the preload, turning in a counterclockwise direc- tion will decrease the preload.
Compression damping of shock absorber The shock absorber can synchronize the compression damping in the low and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control). Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.
ST ANDARD ADJUSTMENT HIGH-SPEED: – T urn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction up to the stop with a socket wrench (wrench size 17 mm). – T urn the adjusting screw in a counterclockwise direction the number of turns specified for the respective type of shock absorber .
Adjusting the preload of the shock absorber The baggage and passenger put the main load on the shock absorber . T o guarantee maxi- mum handling performance, the preload of the shock absorber must be adapted to the load. The preload is hydraulically adjusted by turning the hand wheel [1] .
Cleaning the dust sleeves of the telescopic fork The dust-protection bellows [3] are to remove dust and coarse dirt particles from the fork tube. However , after some time, dirt may also get in behind the dust-protection bellows. If this dirt is not removed, the oil sealing rings located behind it may start to leak.
Correct chain tension Loosen collar nut [1] , loosen counter nuts [2] , and turn right and left adjusting screws [3] equally far . T ighten counter nuts [2] . Before tightening the wheel spindle, verify that the chain adjusters [4] are sitting close to the adjusting screws and that the rear wheel has been aligned with the front wheel.
Chain maintenance The maintenance of the X-ring chain is reduced to a minimum. Clean with a soft water jet. Never use a brush or solvent to clean the chain. When the chain is dry use a chain spray specially made for X-ring chains (Motorex Chainlube 622).
General informations about KTM disc brakes BRAKE CALIPERS: The brake calipers of this series “float“. This means that the brake calipers are not solidly attached to the caliper support. Thus, the brake pads are always in optimum contact with the brake disc.
BRAKE FLUID: KTM fills the brake systems with Motorex Brake Fluid DOT 5.1 brake fluid, one of the best brake fluids that is currently available. W e recommend that you continue to use it. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether and of an amber color .
ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) 990 ADVENTURE: The ABS is a safety system that prevents the wheels from locking when driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces. The ABS unit [1] , consisting of a hydraulic unit, an electronic control unit and the electric pump motor , is located under the seat.
Adjusting of free travel at the hand brake lever Free travel at the hand brake lever may be readjusted by using adjusting screw [1] . In this way , the position of the point of pressure (i.e., the resistance you feel on the hand brake lever when the brake pads are pressed against the brake disc) can be adjusted for any hand size.
Checking rear brake fluid level The brake fluid reservoir for the rear disk brake is combined with the foot brake cylinder and has an inspection window . The brake fluid level should not drop below the "MIN" mark when the motorcycle is in a vertical position.

Dismounting and mounting the front wheel Jack the motorcycle up at the underride protection until the front wheel no longer touches the ground. Loosen the collar screw [1] and the clamp screws [2] at both fork leg axle passages. Unscrew the collar screw approx.
T o mount the front wheel, lift the wheel into the fork, slightly pull one brake caliper out and push the tire in between the brake calipers. Insert the brake disks in the brake calipers and mount the axle passage. Mount the collar screw [1] and tighten slightly .
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 58 1 2 A 3 A 4 5 Dismounting and mounting the rear wheel NOTE FOR MODELS WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM): The ABS sensor [6] can be removed to make it easier to dismount and mount the rear wheel. Loosen the HH screw [7] and pull out the ABS sensor .
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 59 TIRES – AIR PRESSURE front rear Road, driver only 2.4 bar (34psi) 2.6 bar (37psi) Road, with passenger 2.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 60 Checking spoke tension The correct spoke tension is very important for the stability of the wheels and thus for rid- ing safety . A loose spoke causes the wheel to become unbalanced and before long other spokes will have come loose.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 61 Battery The battery is located in the underride protection in front of the engine and is maintenance- free. It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level or to refill water . Simply keep the bat- tery poles clean and slightly grease them with an acid-free grease if necessary .
Demounting and mounting the battery The battery does not need to be demounted unless the motorcycle is being immobilized. T o demount the battery , remove the screws [1] and fold the underride protection [2] down. Remove the screws [3] and tilt the battery cover [4] to the front.
Charging the battery The battery does not need to be dismounted to charge. Remove the screws [1] and the engine cover [2] . Remove the red protection cover and connect the charging device with the positive terminal post at screw [3] and the negative terminal post at screw [4] .
Main fuse The main fuse protects all of the motorcycle's current consumers. The main fuse is located in the starter relay under the right engine cowl. Remove the screws [1] and take off the engine cowl [2] . Do not burn yourself on the hot exhaust pipe.
Fuses for individual current consumers A fuse box with additional fuses is mounted in the storage compartment to separately pro- tect the current consumers against short circuits. The current consumers and the corresponding fuse capacities are listed on the cover of the fuse box [1] .
Replacing the headlight lamps Remove the 5 screws on the left and right and take off both side covers [1] . Use a screw- driver to detach the retaining tabs [2] , tilt the windshield and headlight forward and pull the connector off the connector support.
P ARKING LIGHT BULB [C] : Pull the bulb socket [7] out of the reflector and pull the bulb out of the bulb socket. USA design: The parking light [E] is located in the upper part of the headlight in the USA design. Bulb [F] (see T echnical specifications – Chassis / Lighting) with high and low beams is mounted in the lower part of the headlight.
Adjusting the headlight range The payload can make it necessary to correct the headlight range. The headlight range can be adjusted with the adjusting screw [1] . T urning in a clockwise direction will increase the headlight range, turning in a counterclockwise direction will reduce the headlight range.
Replacing the flasher bulbs Remove the screw on the back of the turn signal, carefully fold the lens [5] towards the motorcycle and remove. Slightly depress the bulb, turn it approx. 30° counterclockwise and pull it out of the socket. T o mount the lamp reverse the worksteps indicated above.
Cooling system The water pump in the engine ensures a forced circulation of the cooling liquid. When the engine is cold, the cooling liquid only circulates in the cylinders and cylinder heads. The thermostat will open when the engine reaches approx. 75°C (167°F) and the cooling liquid will also be pumped through the aluminum radiator .
A mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water is used as the cooling liquid. How ever , the anti-freeze protection must be at least -25° C (-13° F). Aside from antifreezing protec- tion, this mixture also provides great corrosion protection which is why it must not be replaced by pure water .
Checking the cooling liquid level in the radiator Remove the 5 screws and the right cover [1] , disconnect the flasher cable and tank ventilation. If possible, always check level of cooling liquid when engine is cold. If you have to open the radiator cap when engine is hot, use a rag to cover the cap and open slowly to release pres- sure.
Bleeding the cooling system Remove the 5 screws and the left cover [3] , disconnect the flasher cable and tank ventilation. Remove the bleeder screw [4] on the left side of the radiator . T o be able to completely bleed the cooling system, raise the motorcycle approx.
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. T urning the adjusting screw counterclockwise reduces the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar .
Engine oil Automobile engine oil used to be used for four -stroke motorcycles before there were sepa- rate motorcycle specifications. Different technical developments made it necessary to have a separate specification for four -stroke motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA standard.
76 Changing the engine oil and the oil filter, cleaning the oil screen Y ou may only change the engine oil yourself after the warranty period has expired. The war- ranty will become void if you change the oil yourself during the warranty period. NOTE: The LC8 engine has a dry-sump lubrication system.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » Remove the 6 screws and the cover [4] . Remove the 5 screws, take off the left panel [5] and disconnect the turn signal cable.
78 Remove the 3 screws [1] , lift the tank approx. 15 mm and carefully tilt to the side. Disconnect the fuel lines, disconnect the connector for the fuel pump and the pickup cable (fuel level) and set down the tank. Remove the lower screw [2] on the right tank.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 79 Carefully pull the oil screen [7] out of the oil tank. Thoroughly clean the drain plugs, the cover and both oil screens. Clean all rubber seal rings and check for damage. Replace if necessary . Mount the oil drain plug on the engine with a new seal ring and tighten to 20 Nm.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 80 Insert a new oil filter [1] in the engine case, grease the O-ring and mount the oil filter cover together with the O-ring. T ighten the screws to 6 Nm. Only use original KTM oil filters. The engine can be damaged if other filters are used.
MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 81 Add 2.5 liters (0.7 USgal) of fully synthetic engine oil meeting the JASO MA standard (e.g. Motorex Power Synt 4T) and mount the oil dipstick. Start the engine, allow to run warm for 4 minutes and switch off the engine.
Activating the ignition curve for low-octane fuel If you are traveling to a country where fuel having at least 95 octane (RON) is not available, you can easily activate the corresponding ignition curve. A plug and socket connection [1] on a brown/black cable is located near the upper shock absorber holder .
If you have your motorcycle serviced as set forth in this manual, no malfunctioning is to be expected. Nevertheless, if an error does arise, we recommend that you look for the error according to the following chart. Please note that you cannot perform all of the work yourself.
