  If the BRABUS Motorcycle engine turns but fails to start, there might be several reasons. First, ensure the quick release coupling is correctly joined.

  If the ABS warning lamp lights up on your BRABUS Motorcycle, it could be due to several reasons. One potential cause is a blown ABS fuse, which requires changing the fuses in the fuse box. Another reason might be a large difference in wheel speeds between the front and rear wheels; in this case, stop the vehicle, switch off the ignition, and start it again. If the problem persists, there may be a malfunction in the ABS, and you will need to read out the fault memory using the KTM diagnostics tool.

  High oil consumption in your BRABUS Motorcycle may be caused by the engine oil level being too high, so check the engine oil level. Another cause might be that the engine oil is too thin (low viscosity), in that case change the engine oil and the oil filter, and clean the oil screens.
