Professional Workshop Service Manual & Technical Specifications
KTM LC8 950/990 Platform — Repair Manual (2003–2008) | Art. No. 3.206.056-E (Edition 07/2008)
Coverage is built around KTM’s LC8 950/990 family with model lines explicitly listed: 950/990 Adventure, 990 Super Duke/R, 950/990 Supermoto/R, and 950 Super Enduro. The book is organized as a high-density workshop reference with a clear chapter spine (engine, chassis, electrical/injection, fuel system, specifications, schedules, wiring diagrams) plus platform-level system overviews (oil circuit, intake flow, secondary air, cooling layout, ABS notes).
Covered model families (as named on the cover)
- 950/990 Adventure
- 990 Super Duke / Super Duke R
- 950/990 Supermoto / Supermoto R
- 950 Super Enduro
Quick match markers you can confirm immediately
The manual is published in loose-leaf / binder format and carries a documented update lineage tied to model-year gates (engine-number first digit mapping across 2004–2008). That makes it easy to align the document set to an LC8 build group before you rely on the spec tables and wiring content.
Edition and reference markers worth checking
Art.-No.: 3.206.056-E (LC8 Repair Manual, 2003–2008)
Edition shown: 07/2008
Update chain references earlier LC8 base set: 3.206.009-E → multiple update packs (2004–2008)
Model-year gates use engine-number first digit (“4” through “8” across the update list)
Chapter indexing uses the format chapter-page (example pattern: 3–5 = Chapter 3, page 5)
Wiring content is isolated as its own chapter: Wiring Diagrams
What the chapter spine emphasizes
Instead of mixing systems together, the manual uses a 13-section layout: service info, general information, engine removal/refit sectioning by model line, engine disassembly/service/assembly blocks, Electrical / Injection, Fuel System, a dedicated Technical Specifications chapter, periodic maintenance schedule pages, and Wiring Diagrams as a standalone end section. The result is easy subsystem navigation when you’re selecting the right document for your LC8 variant family.
Platform-level system diagrams and hard numeric anchors
Several early pages function as “system maps” with measurable thresholds:
- Cooling diagram lists thermostat opening at 75°C, system cap regulation up to 1.4 bar, and fan switch-on at 102°C
- Oil-pressure references are presented as numeric limits by engine speed (minimum and operating ranges)
- Hydraulic clutch fluid spec is pinned to SAE 10 biodegradable hydraulic oil, with different reservoir level references by model family
Compact technical table
| Technical anchor | Spec-style value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat threshold | 75°C | Cooling circuit reference |
| Cooling system cap limit | max 1.4 bar | Radiator cap regulation |
| Fan switch-on point | 102°C | Cooling fan trigger |
| Oil pressure (low speed) | min 0.8 bar @ 1500 rpm | Operating-temperature check |
| Oil pressure (high speed) | min 2.4 bar / max 3.5 bar @ 6000 rpm | Operating-temperature check |
| Clutch master-cylinder level (Adventure/Supermoto) | 4 mm below upper edge | Hydraulic clutch reference |
Tooling and consumables density (signals of “shop-grade” documentation)
Special-tools pages list KTM tool part numbers and dedicated fixtures (engine work stand, clutch holder, magneto extractor components, float-level setting gauge, valve tools), alongside defined workshop chemicals (e.g., Loctite 243 and Loctite 648 callouts). If your decision depends on a manual that pairs specs with tooling identifiers and wiring coverage, those pages are a strong indicator of a full workshop-reference style set.
Scope boundaries you can infer from the structure
The content is centered on the LC8 powertrain + chassis + electrical/injection domains for the named 950/990 model lines across the 2003–2008 coverage band, with technical specifications and wiring diagrams separated into their own chapters for faster lookup and cleaner subsystem boundaries.
