12.1 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
H01077-10
The ABS module
1
, consisting of a hydraulic unit, an ABS con-
trol unit, and a return pump, is located 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.
– Do not make any changes to the suspension travel.
– Only use spare parts on the brake system which have
been approved and recommended by KTM.
– Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corre-
sponding speed index.
– Maintain the specified tire pressure.
– Ensure that service work and repairs are 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 reduce the probabil-
ity of a fall only within physical limits.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding
situations, for example 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.
Warning
Danger of accidents An incorrectly selected ABS mode
makes control of the vehicle considerably more difficult.
The ABS modes are each only suitable for certain condi-
tions.
– Always select an ABS mode that is compatible with the
surface of the ground.
ABS has two operating modes: the Road and Supermoto ABS
modes.
In the Road ABS mode, the ABS controls both wheels.
In ABS mode Supermoto, the ABS only controls the front
wheel. There is no ABS control on the rear wheel. The
ABS warning lamp
3
flashes slowly to remind you that the
Supermoto ABS mode is enabled.
