Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the function of the ABS.
–
Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake applied away from public
road traffic if the ABS is switched off.
–
Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
–
Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been approved and recom-
mended by KTM.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.
–
Maintain the specified tire air pressure.
–
Service work and repairs must be performed professionally. (Your authorized
KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Warning
Voiding of the government approval for road use and the insurance coverage If the
ABS is switched off completely, the vehicle's approval for road use is invalidated.
–
Only operate the vehicle in closed-off areas remote from public road traffic if the
ABS is switched off completely.
The ABS is a safety system that, within physical limitations, can prevent locking and slip-
ping of the wheels during braking.
