Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.

Only use spare parts on the brake system which have
been approved and recommended by KTM.

Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corre-
sponding speed index.

The ABS is a safety system that, within physical limitations, can
prevent locking and slipping of the wheels during braking.
