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 vehicles. The construction
and friction factor of the brake linings and therefore the brake power can differ considerably from the original KTM brake lin-
ings. 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The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
–
Check the brake discs. ( p. 103)
