Now one can measure a space of 18 chain reels at the lower chain strand. The chain should be replaced at the latest when a space of 272 mm (10.70 in) is measured. Chains do not always wear off evenly, therefore repeat the measurement at different pla- ces on the chain. NOTE: If you mount a new chain, the sprockets should also be replaced.

Changing the basic position of the foot brake pedal * The basic position of the foot brake pedal can be altered by turning the stop screw 1. The free play at the foot brake pedal must then be adjusted by means of the piston rod 2. Measured on the outside, the foot brake pedal must have 3-5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) of free play, before the piston rod can move the piston in the brake cylinder (to be recognised from the resistance on the foot brake pedal). 2 !

Checking rear brake fluid level The brake fluid reservoir of the rear disc brake is located on the right side of the motorcycle next to the kickstarter. The brake fluid level must not drop below the „MlN” marking when the vehicle is in an upright position. WARNING IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM EITHER THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS A LEAK OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN. IN THIS CASE, CONSULT AN AUTHO- RIZED KTM DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

Refilling the rear brake fluid reservoir * For this purpose, it is recommended to remove screw 3 and to pull the brake fluid reservoir outwards. Now the screw cap 8 and the rubber boot 9 can be removed. Add brake fluid DOT 5.1 (Shell Advance Brake DOT 5.1) until the brake fluid level reaches the ”MAX” mark, then mount the screw cap together with the rubber boot. Restore the brake fluid reservoir to its original position and fix it with the screw. The connecting hose bet- ween the reservoir and the foot brake cylinder must be carefully positioned, preventing kinks and keeping a safe distance between the hose and the exhaust pipe. Spilled brake fluid must be rinsed off with water. WARNING –NEVER USE DOT5 BRAKE FLUID! IT IS BASED ON SILICONE OIL AND OF A PURPLE COLOR. SEALS AND BRAKE HOSES MUST BE ESPECIALLY ADAPTED TO IT. –STORE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. –BRAKE FLUID CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES.
