Warning
Danger 01 accidents
Reduced braking effect caused by old brake fluid.
-
Change the brake fluid of the front and rear brake according to the service schedule.
Warning
Danller 01 accidents
Reduced braking efficiency due to oil or grease on the brake discs.
-
Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease, and clean them with brake cleaner when necessary.
Warning
Danier 01 accidents
Reduced braking efficiency due to use of non-approved brake linings.
-
Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construc-
tion and friction factor of the brake linings and therefore the brake power can differ considerably from the original KTM
brake linings. If brake linings are used that differ from the originals, there is no guarantee that they comply with the origi-
nal license. The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
Warning
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
-
Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
