Checking rear brake fluid level

The brake fluid reservoir for the rear disk brake is combined with the foot brake cylinder and

has an inspection window. The brake fluid level should not drop below the "MIN" mark when

the motorcycle is in a vertical position.

– IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM EITHER THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS

A LEAK OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. IN THIS CASE, CONSULT AN

AUTHORIZED KTM DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

– HAVE THE BRAKE FLUID CHANGED AT AN AUTHORIZED KTM WORKSHOP EVERY 2 YEARS.

Changing the basic position of the foot brake lever *

Loosen the counter nut

[1] and turn the push rod [2] until the foot brake lever reaches the

right position. Tighten the counter nut.

Refilling the rear brake fluid reservoir *

It is not necessary to refill brake fluid under normal conditions (see General information on

KTM disk brakes).

However, the brake fluid must be refilled as soon as the brake fluid level reaches the MIN

mark.

Remove the screws

[3] and the cover [4] with the rubber boot [5]. Push the rear brake caliper

pistons all the way back, demounting the rear wheel if necessary.
