Info
Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. 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 vehicle
no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.

reduced and the brake discs are rendered unserviceable. Check the brake linings regularly.
