Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the function of the ABS.
–
Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake applied if the ABS is
switched off (burn out).
–
Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
–
Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been approved and recom-

–
Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.
–
Maintain the specified tire air pressure.
–
Service work and repairs must be performed professionally. (Your authorized
