LOCTITE 243
General information on KTM disk brakes
BRAKE CALIPERS:
The front brake calipers [1] have 4 brake pistons and are radially bolted to the fork legs.
The front brake disks are designed as "floating" brake disks, i.e. they are not firmly con-
nected to the front wheel.
The lateral balance ensures that the brake pads always have the best possible contact to the
brake disk. Apply Loctite 243 to the screws [2] on the brake caliper support and tighten to
45 Nm.
The rear brake caliper [3] has 2 brake pistons and is designed as a "floating brake caliper,
i.e. it is not firmly connected to the brake caliper support. The lateral balance ensures that
the brake pads always have the best possible contact to the brake disk.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, ALWAYS HAVE MAINTENANCE WORK AND REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP.
BRAKE PADS:
Your motorcycle is equipped with sintered brake pads in the front and rear and homologated
accordingly. They guarantee maximum braking performance.

BRAKE PADS AVAILABLE IN THE ACCESSORY TRADE ARE OFTEN NOT AUTHORIZED FOR OPERA-
TION OF YOUR KTM MOTORCYCLE IN ROAD TRAFFIC. THE BRAKE PADS DESIGN AND FRICTION
FACTOR AND THEREFORE THE BRAKING POWER CAN DEVIATE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ORIGINAL
KTM BRAKE PADS. IF YOU USE DIFFERENT BRAKE PADS THAN THOSE PROVIDED WITH THE ORIG-
INAL EQUIPMENT, IT CANNOT BE WARRANTED THAT THEY ARE AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN ROAD
TRAFFIC. YOUR MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT LONGER COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS AUTHORIZ-
ING THE USE OF VEHICLES FOR ROAD TRAFFIC AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
