BRAKE SYSTEM
Warning
Danger of accidents Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for KTM motorcycles. The structure and friction coefficient of the brake linings,
and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homologation is not guaranteed.
In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery and the warranty shall be void.
–
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by KTM.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance with the applicable regu-
lations.
Info
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for DOT 5
brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
–
Move the brake fluid reservoir mounted on the handlebar to a horizontal position.
–
Remove screws
–
Remove cover
–
Press the brake caliper onto the brake disc by hand in order to push back the brake
pistons. Ensure that brake fluid does not flow out of the brake fluid reservoir,
extracting it by suction if it does.
Info
Make sure that you do not press the brake caliper against the spokes when
