General information about KTM disc brakes

BRAKE CALIPERS:
The front brake caliper
the fork leg. The rear brake caliper has one brake piston and "floats", which
means that it is not rigidly connected to the brake caliper support. The
resulting lateral adjustment ensures that the brake pads
against the brake disk at any time.Secure the screws of the caliper support
with Loctite 243 and tighten to 45 Nm (33,2 ft.lb).
BRAKE PADS:
The motorcycle is equipped with organic brake linings. The thinnest point of
the lining must not be thinner than 1 mm.

face of the brake pads decreases. At their thinnest point

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS:
5 The brake fluid reservoirs on front and rear wheel brakes have been desi-
gned in such a way that even if the brake pads are worn it is not necessary
to top up the brake fluid. If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum
level either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are completely
worn. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately.
BRAKE FLUID:
KTM fills the brake systems with SHELL ADVANCE BRAKE DOT 5.1 brake
fluid, one of the best brake fluids that is currently available. We recommend
that you continue to use it. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is based on glycol ether
and of an amber color. If you do not have any DOT 5.1 for refilling, you
may use DOT 4 brake fluid. However, you should replace it as soon as
possible by DOT 5.1.
Never use brake fluid DOT 5. The color of this silicon oil-based product is
purple red. The gaskets and brake hoses of KTM motorcycles are not desi-
gned for DOT 5 brake fluid!
