14.11 Checking the rear brake fluid level
Warning
Danger of accidents An insufficient brake fluid level will cause the brake system to fail.
If the brake fluid level drops below the specified marking or the specified value, the brake system is
leaking or the brake linings are worn down.
– Check the brake system and ensure that nobody drives the vehicle before the problem is eliminated.

Warning
Danger of accidents Brake fluid which is too old or of the wrong type impairs the function of the brake
system.
– Make sure that brake fluid for the front and rear brake is changed in accordance with the service
schedule. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
