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 switched off completely, the vehicle's approval for road use is invalidated.

ping of the wheels during braking.
