2013 KTM 85 SX 19/16 & 85 SX 17/14 Owner's Manual PDF (P/N 3211856en)

This KTM owner's manual covers the 2013 85 SX 19/16 and 85 SX 17/14, publication 3211856en, issued April 2013. It combines operating instructions with scheduled maintenance, chassis tuning, and selected service procedures.

• WP Suspension: Fork bleeding, compression and rebound damping adjustments, shock absorber spring preload, static and riding sag, and fork leg and shock absorber removal.

• Steering and drivetrain: Steering head bearing inspection and adjustment, lower triple clamp removal and installation, chain tension adjustment, and sprocket and chain guide inspection.

• Brakes and wheels: Front and rear brake lining replacement, brake disc wear checks, lever free travel adjustment, wheel removal, wheel bearing inspection, and spoke tension.

• Hydraulic clutch: Clutch lever positioning, fluid level checks, and hydraulic fluid replacement using the specified bleed syringe.

• Fuel and engine maintenance: KEIHIN PWK 28 jetting and idle speed adjustment, throttle cable adjustment, air filter service, main silencer repacking, and gear oil changes.

• Cooling and troubleshooting: Coolant draining, refilling and bleeding, plus fault tables covering starting problems, poor running, overheating, and water in the gear oil.

The operating and routine inspection sections are suited to owners and parents supervising young riders; KTM directs jobs marked with its specialist symbol to an authorized workshop.

Maintenance and Chassis Tuning

The manual supports daily pre-ride checks and service scheduling by operating hours and race use. Separate preparation notes address sand, mud, heat, and cold, alongside cleaning, storage, and preparation for use after storage.

WP Suspension setup distinguishes high- and low-speed shock compression damping and provides Comfort, Standard, and Sport settings. Spring selection tables organized by rider weight, together with static and riding sag illustrations, help determine whether preload adjustment or a different spring is needed.

Lower triple clamp illustrations identify the bearing and sealing parts. The suspension procedures specify combination wrench 50329080000 and hook wrench T106S.

Brake and Hydraulic Clutch Service

The front brake procedures distinguish the 17/14 and 19/16 configurations, including the caliper spacers used on the 19/16. That distinction helps you identify the correct mounting arrangement before brake repair.

Brake service data includes pad and disc wear limits and fluid specifications. KTM warns that silicone-based DOT 5 fluid is incompatible with the brake seals and lines and can damage them; brake maintenance and repair must be performed professionally.

Hydraulic clutch fluid service identifies bleed syringe 50329050000. Wheel service sections provide tire air pressures and spoke nipple torque specifications.

Engine and Technical Specifications

KEIHIN PWK 28 jetting charts relate carburetor settings to altitude and temperature. The illustration of throttle operating ranges explains which metering components influence idle, transition, part load, and full load.

Air filter procedures include removal, cleaning, installation, and sealing the airbox. Incorrect filter seating can let dirt into the engine and cause damage.

A main silencer exploded view accompanies glass fiber packing replacement. Factory reference tables cover engine and chassis tightening torques, gear oil and coolant capacities, and suspension settings.

Troubleshooting and Repair Coverage

Fault tables connect starting, idling, power loss, and overheating problems with possible causes, including ignition faults and leaking intake components. Ignition system checks are listed as workshop actions; detailed electrical test procedures and wiring diagrams are outside the coverage.

The service schedule lists piston, crankshaft, and transmission work, but this owner's manual does not contain internal engine or transmission teardown and overhaul procedures. A separate repair manual is needed for that work.

PDF Navigation and Text Search

The PDF has searchable body text, linked contents, an index, and embedded bookmarks for chapters and subsections. The carburetor tuning matrix is an image: its entries cannot be searched as text, and zooming makes the small labels easier to read. This 96-page PDF includes all 93 numbered pages, the front and back covers, and one blank page.
