8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS Quickshifter + (optional) If the quickshifter + (optional) is activated, you can shift up and down without actuating the clutch. Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted gear shifts are possible. The quickshifter + uses the shifter shaft position to check whether or not a shift should be initiated, and sends a corresponding signal to the engine control.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 8 Motorcycle traction control (MTC) The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the engine torque in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. Info When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during strong acceleration and on surfaces with low grip, resulting in a risk of crashing.
Danger of accidents A spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency. – Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.) Warning Danger of accidents The brake system fails in the event of overheating.
Page 75
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 8 Warning Danger of accidents ABS may increase the stopping distance in certain situations. – Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions. Warning Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels. The ABS effectiveness is only ensured if it is switched on.
8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS – Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. Change down one or two gears, but do not over-rev the engine. You will have to apply the brakes far less frequently as a result and the brake system will not overheat.
