Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking 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
Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to use of non-approved brake linings.
– Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM motorcycles. The
construction 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
original license. The motorcycle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
