– In the rain, or after the motorcycle has been washed, braking action may be delayed due to wet brake discs. First, the brakes must be

braked dry.

– On salt-sprayed or dirty roads brake action may be delayed as well. First, the brakes must be braked clean.

– Remember that the stopping distance will be longer if you are carrying a passenger or baggage.

– When you brake, the brake discs, brake pads, brake caliper and brake fluid heat up. The hotter these parts get, the   weaker the brak-

ing effect. In extreme cases, the entire braking system can fail.

– If the resistance in the hand brake lever or foot brake pedal feels “spongy” (too much play), this is an indication that something is wrong

with the brake system. Don’t ride your motorcycle anymore without first having the brake system looked over by a KTM dealer.

Stopping and parking

Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. To stop the engine, switch off the

ignition. Fold the side stand forward to the stop with your foot, put the weight of the motor-

cycle on the stand and park the bike on a firm surface. Lock the motorcycle.

– Always park your motorbike on a solid and horizontal surface.

– Never leave your motorcycle without supervision as long as the engine is running.

– Motorcycle engines produce a great amount of heat while running. The engine radiators,

exhaust, exhaust system, brake discs, and shock absorbers can become very hot. Do not

touch any of these parts after operating the motorcycle, and take care to park it where

pedestrians are not likely to touch it and get burned

– Never park your motorcycle in places where there exist fire hazards due to dry grass or

other easily flammable materials.

– Always take out the ignition key when parking your motorcycle so that it cannot be used

by unauthorized persons.

– The side stand is dimensioned for the weight of the motorcycle only. Sitting on the motor-

cycle will increase the weight on the side stand. The side stand or engine case can be

damaged and the motorcycle can tip over.
