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.

BRAKE DISCS:
Due to wear, the thickness of the brake disc in the area of the contact

face
of the brake pads decreases. At their thinnest point
discs must not be more than 0.4 mm (0,016 in) thinner than the pad's
nominal thickness. Measure the nominal thickness in a location
the contact face. Check wear in several locations.

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS:
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 Motorex Brake Fluid 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!
