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.
Warning
Danger of accidents Unsuitable brake fluid damages the brake system.
DOT 5 brake fluid attacks seals and brake lines. DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone-based and purple in color.
–
Do not use DOT 5 brake fluid.
Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oils, grease, cleaning agents, brake fluid etc. properly and in compliance with the applica-
ble regulations.
Info
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
