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 locking of the wheels
when driving straight ahead or when cornering (within the limits of
physics).
