Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construc-

brake linings. If brake linings are used that differ from the originals, there is no guarantee that they comply with the origi-
nal license. The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
