14.1 Antilock brake system (ABS)
H02020-01
The ABS unit
1
, which consists of a hydraulic unit, brake electronics control unit, and
return pump, is installed under the seat. One wheel speed sensor
2
is located in each
case on the front and the rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Changes to the vehicle impair the function of the ABS.
– Only allow the rear wheel to spin with the front brake applied away from public
road traffic if the ABS is switched off.
– Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
– Only use spare parts on the brake system which have been approved and recom-
mended by KTM.
– Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.
– Maintain the specified tire air pressure.
– Service work and repairs must be performed professionally. (Your authorized
KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead
without the influence of lateral forces.
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limi-
tations.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for exam-
ple with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep
descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
– Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.
ABS has two operating modes: the Road and OffroadABS modes.
