Brake
As a rule the left brake lever operates the front brake
while the right one operates the rear brake.
Exception: Bikes with a coaster brake. Their brake lever
for the front brake is on the right side of the handlebar.
BUT: Depending on the model there can be a second
brake lever for the rear brake on the right side of the
handlebar.
In this case the brake lever for the front brake would be
on the left side of the handlebar.
Pay attention not to lock up the wheels when applying
the brake. A locked up wheel makes you lose grip and
may cause a fall. Practice to apply the brakes in low-
traffic locations which are suitable for this.
Never apply the brake too hard or too suddenly. Danger
of being pitched over the handlebar. When applying the
brake try to shift weight on the rear wheel by moving
back on the saddle.
With a locked up front wheel the rider is not able to
maintain balance through steering anymore and a fall
is very probable.
A locked up rear wheel can career s dewards. Apply
both brakes for an optimal slow down.
Important: when riding on loose or wet surfaces the
braking distance is much longer.
Disc brakes do not work perfectly when they are new!
They need about 30 - 100 applications for an optimal
effectiveness.
Attention: With extended use, disc brakes can become
very hot! Do not touch: risk of burn !
For many, work on your KTM bike skills and special
tools are required. Do not make any repairs or adjust-
ments that you may not be fluent. Improperly performed
repairs or adjustments can lead to accidents. Please
let work on the brakes only perform from dealer and
take note of the documents enclosed by the component
manufacturers.
