The ABS operates with two independent brake circuits (front and rear brakes). When the
brake electronics control unit detects a locking tendency in a wheel, ABS begins regulat-
ing the brake pressure. The regulating process causes a slight pulsing of the hand and foot

The rear wheel may only be spun with the front brake applied (burn out) if the
ABS is switched off.
If the vehicle has been modified, such as shortened or lengthened spring deflec-
tions, different rim diameters, different tires, the wrong tire air pressure, differ-
ent brake linings, etc., the ABS will not function optimally. Optimal function-
ing of the ABS is only ensured if the brake system only contains spare parts and
tires that have been approved and/or recommended by KTM.
Service work and repairs must be performed properly. (Your authorized KTM
workshop will be glad to help.)
It is not always possible to prevent vehicle rollover in extreme riding situations
(e. g. luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep
descents, full braking without disengaging the gear). Adapt your riding style to
the road conditions and your driving ability.
