16.2 Changing the front brake linings
Warning
Danger of accident Brake system failure.
–
Maintenance work and repairs must be carried out professionally.
Warning
Skin irritation Brake fluid can cause skin irritation on contact.
–
Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep out of the reach of children.
–
Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
–
If brake fluid comes into contact with the eyes, flush the eyes thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately.
Warning

–
Change the brake fluid of the front and rear brake according to the service schedule.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to oil or grease on the brake discs.
–
Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease, and clean them with brake cleaner when necessary.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to use of non-approved brake linings.
–
Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construc-
tion and friction factor of the brake linings and therefore the brake power can differ considerably from the original KTM
brake linings. If brake linings are used that differ from the originals, there is no guarantee that they comply with the origi-
nal license. The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
Warning
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid! It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for DOT 5
brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
