Page 149 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 10 10.4 Quickshifter + (optional) If the quickshifter + is activated, you can shift up and down with- out actuating the clutch. Because there is no need to close the throttle grip, uninterrupted gear shifts are possible. The quickshifter + uses the shifter shaft position to check whether or not a shift should be initiated, and sends a corresponding signal to the engine control.

Page 156 Warning Danger of accidents A spongy pressure point on the front or rear brake reduces braking efficiency. – Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Page 157 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 10 Warning Danger of accidents The brake system fails in the event of overheating. If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. – Take your foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking. Warning Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
Page 158 10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS Warning Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect. – Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground. Warning Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limitations. It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for example with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
Page 159 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 10 – Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. To do so, shift back one or two gears, but do not overrev the engine. This means that significantly less braking is required and the brake system does not overheat.
