Brake linings
The brake linings fitted by KTM have been tested over long periods and guarantee optimal braking characteristics. The type names of the
brake linings are entered in the homologation documents.
Info
Brake linings available in accessories shops are often untested and unapproved for use on KTM vehicles. The structure and friction
coefficient of the brake linings, and therefore the brake power, can vary considerably from the original KTM brake linings. If brake
linings other than those supplied as originals are used, there is no guarantee that they correspond to the original homologation. The
vehicle then no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery and the guarantee is no longer valid.

Checking the front brake linings
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking caused by worn brake linings.
–
Have worn brake linings replaced immediately in an authorized KTM-RC8 workshop.
Note
Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to damaged brake discs.
–
If the brake linings are not changed in time, the steel brake lining carriers grind on the brake disc. The braking effect is greatly
reduced and the brake discs are destroyed.
