General informations about KTM disc brakes

BRAKE CALIPERS:
The brake calipers of this series "float". This means that the brake calipers are not solidly
attached to the caliper support. Thus, the brake pads are always in optimum contact with
the brake disc. Secure the screws of the caliper support with Loctite 243 and tighten to
25 Nm.
For safety reasons, always have maintenance work and repairs to the brake system performed
by an authorized KTM workshop.
BRAKE PADS:
Your motorcycle is equipped with sintered brake pads in the front and rear and homologated
accordingly. They guarantee maximum braking performance.
Front brake pads: Toshiba TT 2172 HH
Rear brake pads: Ferit I/D 450 FF
Brake pads available in the accessory trade are often not authorized for operation of your
KTM motorcycle in road traffic. The brake pads design and friction factor and therefore the
braking power can deviate significantly from original KTM brake pads. If you use different
brake pads than those provided with the original equipment, it cannot be warranted that
they are authorized for use in road traffic. Your motorcycle will not longer comply with the
regulations authorizing the use of vehicles for road traffic and the warranty will be void.
