Warning
Danger of accidents Old brake fluid reduces the braking effect.
–
Make sure that brake fluid for the front and rear brake is changed in accordance with the service
schedule.
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 homologa-
tion 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.
Note
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 regulations.
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.
