Applying the brakes

Warning
Danger of accidents Moisture and dirt impair the brake system.
–
Brake carefully several times to dry out and remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
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.
If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously.
–
Take your foot off the foot brake lever if you do not want to brake.
Warning
Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
–
Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger or luggage with you.
Warning
Danger of accidents Salt on the roads impairs the brake system.
–
Brake carefully several times to remove salt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
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.
–
Leave the ABS switched on in order to benefit from the protective effect.
Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
–
Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
The MSR is an optional auxiliary function of the engine control.
If the engine braking effect is too great, the MSR prevents the rear
wheel from locking or sliding away on a sloping position.
To avoid slip of the rear wheel, the MSR only opens the throttle
valve as far as absolutely necessary.
The MSR is applied on surfaces, where the friction coefficient is to
low to open the slipper clutch.
To further increase ride safety, the MSR is slope dependent.
