Braking

7.5
Warning
Danger of accidents If you brake too hard, the wheels can lock.
–
Adapt your braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.
–
Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake.
–
Have the brake system checked in an authorized KTM workshop, and do not ride any further.
–
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the starter
button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
–
Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
–
Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine
and the cooling system.
–
Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping
clutch.
–
If the FI warning lamp (MIL) lights up during a trip, stop immediately. When you shift to
neutral, the FI warning lamp (MIL) starts to flash.
Info
From the flashing rhythm, you can derive a two-digit number, the so-called
flashing code. The flashing code tells you which component has a fault.
