The front brake disks are designed as "floating" brake disks, i. e. they are not firmly connected to the front wheel. The lateral balance ensures that the brake pads always have the best possible contact to the brake disk. Apply Loctite 243 to the screws [2] on the brake caliper support and tighten to 45 Nm. The rear brake caliper [3] has 1 brake piston and is designed as a "floating brake caliper, i. e. it is not firmly connected to the brake caliper support. The lateral balance ensures that the brake pads always have the best possible contact to the brake disk. For safety reasons, always have maintenance work and repairs to the brake system performed by an authorized KTM workshop. BRAKE PADS: The brake pads mounted by KTM were tested at length to guarantee maximum braking performance and are listed in the homologation papers. Brake pads available in the accessory trade are often not authorized for operation of your KTM motorcycle in road traffic. The brake pads design and friction factor and therefore the braking power can deviate significantly from original KTM brake pads. If you use different brake pads than those provided with the original equipment, it cannot be warranted that they are authorized for use in road traffic. Your motorcycle will not longer comply with the regulations authorizing the use of vehicles for road traffic and the warranty will be void. MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE » 41 BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS: The brake fluid reservoirs on the front and rear wheel brakes have been designed in such a way that even if the brake pads are worn it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid. There is no reason to remove the reservoir cap under normal conditions. If the brake fluid level drops below the minimum either the brake system has a leak or the brake pads are completely worn down. In this case, consult an authorized KTM dealer immediately. BRAKE FLUID: We recommend that you use Motorex DOT 5. 1 brake fluid when you refill or change the brake fluid. 1 brake fluid has a wet boiling point of 180°C / 356°F (25°C / 45°F higher than DOT 4) and is safer for high performance applications. Brake fluid DOT 5. 1 is a polyethylene glycol based fluid, amber-colored and can be mixed with DOT 4 brake fluid. [. . . ] Function buttons on combined instrument .
