14.1 Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
H03497-10
The ABS module

, which consists of a hydraulic unit, ABS con-
trol unit, and return pump, is installed under the fuel tank. One
wheel speed sensor

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.)
The ABS is a safety system that prevents the wheels locking when
driving straight ahead or when cornering (within the limits of
physics).
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 certain 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.
The ABS control is dependent on the riding mode. ABS has two
operating modes: the Road and Offroad ABS modes.
In riding modes Street and Rain, the ABS controls both wheels.
In riding mode Offroad, there is no ABS control on the rear wheel.
ABS can be configured in riding mode Rally (optional).
In ABS mode Road, ABS controls both wheels.
In ABS mode Offroad, there is no ABS control on the rear wheel.
