KTM Freeride E-XC User Manual

13 BRAKE SYSTEM 75
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to use of non-approved brake linings.
– 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 The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
Warning
Danger of accidents Unsuitable brake fluid damages the brake system.
DOT 5 brake fluid attacks seals and brake lines. DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone-based and purple in color.
– Do not use DOT 5 brake fluid.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Dispose of oils, grease, cleaning agents, brake fluid etc. properly and in compliance with the applicable regulations.
Info
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
