Changing the basic position of the foot brake lever *

Loosen the counter nut [1] and turn the push rod [2] until the foot brake lever reaches the
right position. Tighten the counter nut.
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.
– IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM EITHER THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS
A LEAK OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. IN THIS CASE, CONSULT AN
AUTHORIZED KTM DEALER IMMEDIATELY.
– HAVE THE BRAKE FLUID CHANGED AT AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP EVERY 2 YEARS.
Refilling the rear brake fluid reservoir *
It is not necessary to refill brake fluid under normal conditions (see General information on
KTM disk brakes).
However, the brake fluid must be refilled as soon as the brake fluid level reaches the MIN
mark.
Remove the screws [3] and the cover [4] with the rubber boot [5]. Push the rear brake caliper
pistons all the way back, demounting the rear wheel if necessary.
