Brake linings
The brake linings fitted by KTM were tested over long periods and ensure optimal braking properties. The type names of brake pads are
entered in the homologation documents.
Info
Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construction 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 original license. The vehicle
no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
Checking the front brake linings
Warning
Danger of accidents
ಘReduced braking due to worn brake linings.
ದ
Worn brake linings should be replaced immediately in an authorized KTM workshop.
Note
Danger of accidents
ಘReduced braking due to damaged brake discs.
ದ
If the brake linings are not changed in time, the steel brake lining carriers grind on the brake disc. The braking effect is greatly re-
duced and the brake discs are destroyed.
