What is wrong
Issue:
On certain motorcycles, the return spring inside the front brake master cylinder is not strong enough. As a result, the brake piston may not return to its original position when you release the brake lever. If this happens, the brake lever may move a long distance before the brakes apply and there could be reduced braking.
Safety Risk:
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
KTM will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the front brake master cylinder piston return spring.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| KTB2106 | 2021-12-01. Service bulletin. On affected motorcycles there is a possibility that the preload force of the return spring is too low and does not meet the specified tolerance. This could result in the brake piston not being returned to its original position which in rare cases can impair the function of the front brake. To ensure the highest level of safety, performance, reliability and customer satisfaction, it is necessary to replace the front brake master cylinder piston return spring on all affected motorcycles. |
