Checking of brake fluid level - front brake (690 Supermoto)
The brake fluid reservoir is linked with the hand brake cylinder at the handlebar 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. The reservoir should be kept
completely full at all times for best performance.
– If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or
the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer
immediately.
– Have the brake fluid changed at an authorized KTM workshop every 2 years.

– If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or
the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer
immediately.
– Have the brake fluid changed at an authorized KTM workshop every 2 years.
