10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

10.6

MSR (Option: Engine braking control)

The

MSR

is an optional auxiliary function of the engine control.

If the engine braking effect is too great, the

MSR

prevents the rear wheel from locking or sliding away on a sloping position.

To avoid slip of the rear wheel, the

MSR

only opens the throttle valve as far as absolutely necessary.

The

MSR

is applied on surfaces, where the friction is to low to open the anti

‑ hopping clutch.

To further increase ride safety, the

MSR

is slope dependent.

Info

When the ABS or active Drive Mode

Offroad

( p. 212) is switched off, the

MSR

is not active.

10.7

Applying the brakes

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced braking efficiency due to a wet or dirty brake system.

–

Clean or dry a dirty or wet brake system by riding and braking gently.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Reduced braking efficiency caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake.

–

Check the brake system and do not continue riding. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)

Warning

Danger of accidents

Failure of brake system.

–

If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. The rear brake may fail due to overheating. Take your foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.

10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

Danger of accidents

Longer stopping distance due to higher overall weight.

–

Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger and baggage.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Delayed brake action on salted roads.

–

There may be salt deposits on the brake discs. In order to restore the normal braking efficiency, you will need to remove the deposits from the discs by carefully applying the brakes.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Greater stopping distance due to ABS.

–

Braking should be appropriate to the driving situation and the road conditions.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Very forceful braking can cause the wheels to block.

–

ABS must be switched on to be effective.

Warning

Danger of accidents

Vehicle rollover

–

It is not always possible to prevent vehicle rollover in extreme riding situations (e. g. luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents, full braking without disengaging the gear). Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.

–

When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Info

When the ABS is enabled, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without locking of the wheels.
