13/BRAKE SYSTEM 50
Installing the rear brake linings
Warning
Danger of accidentsಗReduced braking due to oil or grease on the brake discs.
ಥ Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease, and clean them with brake cleaner when necessary.
Warning
Danger of accidentsಗReduced braking due to use of non-approved brake linings.
ಥ 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 no guarantee that they comply with the origi-
nal license. The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
ಥ Check the brake discs.

 in the brake caliper and sliding plate in the brake

Warning
Skin irritationsಗBrake fluid can cause skin irritation on contact.
ಥ Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep out of the reach of children.
ಥ If brake fluid gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and contact a doctor immediately.
Warning
Environmental hazardಗProblem materials cause environmental damage.
ಥ Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc. according to regulations.
Info
KTM recommends brake fluid DOTîš‘5.1 from Motorex
®
. This brake fluid has a higher wet boiling point than brake fluid DOTîš‘4
and offers more protection under high load.
Never user DOTîš‘5 brake fluid! This is based on silicone oil and is colored purple. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for
DOTîš‘5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container!
