–

Clean or dry a dirty or wet brake system by riding and braking gently.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Check the brake system and do not continue riding. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning

Danger of accidents

 

Failure of brake system.

–

If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. The rear brake may fail due to overheating. Take your
foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.

Warning

Danger of accidents

 

Longer stopping distance due to higher overall weight.

–

Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger and baggage.

Warning

Danger of accidents

 

Delayed brake action on salted roads.

–

There may be salt deposits on the brake discs. In order to restore the normal braking efficiency, you will need to remove the
deposits from the discs by carefully applying the brakes.

Warning

Danger of accidents

 

Greater stopping distance due to ABS.

–

Braking should be appropriate to the driving situation and the road conditions.
