accidents
Reduced braking efficiency due to use of non-approved brake linings.
- Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use
on
KTM
vehicles. The construc-
tion 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

nal license. The vehicle
no
longer corresponds
to
the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.

be
disposed of
as
stipulated in applicable regulations.
