KTM 690 Duke 2017 User Manual

9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 64
Warning
Danger of accidents Very forceful braking can cause the wheels to block.
– ABS must be switched on to be effective.
Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
– Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
– When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When ABS is active, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain
without locking of the tires.
Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
– If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
– Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
– On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not over rev the engine. As a
result, you will have to apply the brakes far less frequently and the brake system will not overheat.
9.7 Stopping, parking
Warning
Risk of misappropriation Usage by unauthorized persons.
– Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. Secure the vehicle against use by unauthorized persons. If you
leave the vehicle, lock the steering and remove the ignition key.
