How to reset the service indicator on a KTM 1290

Model: Ktm 1290 Adventure R
Part: Instrument cluster

Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to reset the service warning light on a KTM 1290. We turn on the ignition and hold down the directional buttons to access the settings, and look for the maintenance option: when we are there, we must press the center button and the "back" button simultaneously.

If we do not do it at the same time, the system will not work.

We remind you that the service intervals for this model must be done every 5,000 miles, which corresponds to 8,000 kilometers. After performing the reset operation, it is important to exit the menu and turn off the motorcycle.

If the operation fails, it is possible to repeat it a second time.
