MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

Adjusting the free travel at the hand brake lever

Free travel at the hand brake lever may be readjusted by using adjustment

screw

[1]

. In this way, the position of the point of pressure (i.e. the resis-tance

you feel on the hand brake lever when the brake pads are pressed against the

brake disc) can be adjusted for any hand size.

When you press the hand brake lever forwards, you should have at least

3 mm free travel. Turn the adjusting screw

[1]

if necessary.

AT THE HAND BRAKE LEVER, FREE TRAVEL MUST AT LEAST BE 3 MM (0.1 IN).

ONLY THEN MAY THE PISTON IN THE HAND BRAKE CYLINDER BE MOVED (TO BE

RECOGNIZED BY THE GREATER RESISTANCE OF THE HAND BRAKE LEVER). IF THIS

FREE TRAVEL IS NOT PROVIDED, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP IN THE BRAKING

SYSTEM, AND THE FRONT-WHEEL BRAKE MAY FAIL DUE TO OVERHEATING.

Checking the brake fluid level - front brake

The brake fluid reservoir is linked with the hand brake cylinder at the handle-

bar and the reservoir is provided with an inspection glass. With the reservoir

in a horizontal position, the brake fluid level should not drop below the

middle of the glass.

IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM EITHER THE BRAKE

SYSTEM HAS A LEAK OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN. IN THIS CASE,

CONSULT AN AUTHORIZED KTM DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

Refilling the front brake fluid reservoir *

Loosen screws

[2]

and remove lid

[3]

and membrane

[4]

Place hand brake cylinder in a horizontal position and fill the brake fluid reser-

voir to 5 mm (0.2 in) below the rim with clean brake fluid DOT 5.1 (e.g. Motorex

Brake Fluid DOT 5.1). Replace membrane and lid, tighten screws. Rinse off

spilled or overflowing brake fluid with water.

– NEVER USE DOT5 BRAKE FLUID! IT IS BASED ON SILICONE OIL AND OF A

PURPLE COLOR. SEALS AND BRAKE HOSES MUST BE ESPECIALLY ADAPTED

TO IT.

– STORE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

– BRAKE FLUID CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND

EYES. IF YOU GET BRAKE FLUID IN YOUR EYES, RINSE WITH PLENTY OF WATER

AND CONSULT A DOCTOR

– DON’T LET BRAKE FLUID GET IN CONTACT WITH PAINT, IT IS AN EFFECTIVE

PAINT REMOVER.

– USE ONLY CLEAN BRAKE FLUID TAKEN FROM A TIGHTLY SEALED CONTAINER.

Checking the front brake pads

The brake pads can be inspected from below. The linings must be at least

1 mm (0.04 in) thick.

AT THEIR MOST WORN POINT BRAKE PAD LININGS SHOULD NOT BE THINNER

THAN 1 MM, OTHERWISE THEY COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE. FOR YOUR OWN

SAFETY DON’T PUT OFF HAVING YOUR BRAKE PADS CHANGED.

IF THE BRAKE PADS ARE REPLACED TOO LATE SO THAT THE LINING IS PARTLY

OR ENTIRELY WORN, THE STEEL COMPONENTS OF THE BRAKE PAD WILL RUB

AGAINST THE BRAKE DISC, THEREBY IMPARING THE BRAKING EFFECT AND

DESTROYING THE BRAKE DISC.
