If you are old school like me and disappointed that the Owners Manual is only available through the portal, there is a solution. There is a Dude on ebay obtaining these legally through the portal and printing them and "Thermally Binding" the books. I printed mine off and it is a pain in the ass going through the pages in a folder.
For about $20 this guy is printing, binding, and shipping. I haven't received mine yet, but for about 20 bucks, i took a shot. I don't know this guy? I am just putting it out there if anyone else was disappointed like I was in not having a "physical" manual, in book form?

Good to know, I'm awaiting my 250XC in October. I didn't know they quit producing physical manuals.

Think I saw where you can buy the repair manual through the KTM website at the bottom of the page

I’ve bought a few from him, they’re legit.

Damn I wish I would have seen this sooner. I am like you and want the manual to flip through so I went to FEDEX and had them do it.

it's been CD only for a few years in my understanding. i've bought those, exported as PDF, and printed/bound into a booklet several times. its mega frustrating that there isn't a hard copy you can buy. its 100% better to have a book on your shop table than laptop 90% of the time...

Nope, I couldn’t afford one. I can barely pay attention.

I'm guessing the RRP stands for Rectum Reaming Price.

My ‘21 350SXF only came with a QR code to download the manual - I just put it on a USB, took a trip to the local print shop and had it printed and bound.

I still have the small briefcase, pen and manuals from my 2006 450. It’s disappointing that they don’t do that anymore, it made buying a new KTM feel like something better than a manual stuffed in a plastic bag.

I downloaded the QR code for my 2022.5 Husky, it’s lacking detail. I went to the Euro site and bought the bound version from The factory, supposed to be the service manual. It isn’t like a Clymers I’ve had for my Japanese bikes, it lacks detail. It took about 6 weeks or so and was $80 or so. Not what I thought it would be.

I just downlaoded it on a thumb drive. Drive 10 minutes to the FedEx print shop. They printed and bounded it for me within a few mins.
