KTM Rear brake pads install - How much work is it fitting brake pads on a KTM 990?

BRAKE PADS:
Your motorcycle is equipped with sintered brake pads in the front and rear and homologated
accordingly. They guarantee maximum braking performance.
Front brake pads: Toshiba TT 2172 HH
Rear brake pads: Toshiba TT 2701 HH
- Brake pads available in the accessory trade are often not authorized for the 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 dif-
front brake pads than those provided with the original equipment, it cannot be war-
ranted that they are authorized for use in road traffic. Your motorcycle will no longer
comply with the regulations authorizing the use of vehicles for road traffic and the war-
ranty will be void.
- Models with ABS (antilock brake system): The ABS is designed to be used with the orig-
in brake pads. The ABS function cannot be guaranteed if other brake pads are used.
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 com-
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. DOT 5. 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 poly-
ethylene glycol-based fluid, amber-colored, and can be mixed with DOT 4 brake fluid. Do
not, in any event, use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is based on silicone oil and is dyed purple. KTM
motorcycle gaskets and brake hoses are not designed for DOT 5 brake fluid.
Brake fluid is exposed to a high thermal load and absorbs moisture from the air, which low-
ers the boiling point. The brake fluid should therefore be changed at the prescribed intervals.
Have the brake fluid for the front and rear brake changed at an authorized KTM workshop
every 2 years.
BRAKE DISCS:
Wear reduces the thickness of the brake disc in the area of contact [1] with the brake pads.
The brake disk should not be thinner than 4.5 mm (0.18 in) at the weakest point [A]. Check
the wear at several points.
Brake disks that are less than 4.5 mm (0.18 in) thick are a safety hazard. Have worn brake
disks replaced immediately.

Wtf Frank! I wanted to see how you got those support pins back in! I was hoping to see them finished to match it with mine,

[@FranksWay]

Sorry man 🙃

[@ianferrier235]

Just did mine Frank, took a minute to figure out the one clip was off center. Once I noticed that it was all good. You going to do the front?

[@FranksWay]

Great,will do front for you tomorrow quickly

@@FranksWay Thanks Frank. Have you ever changed the oil jet, I bought one from cjdesignes, I believe it's a. 05 rather than the stock. 03 if I remember correctly.

[@FranksWay]

Hi,i cleaned it,but never replaced it,do you need a vid on it?

[@ianferrier235]

@@FranksWay There's one on you tube I seen, looks like a bit of a pain to get at. Maybe I'll get brave enough to tackle it next spring. Thanks Frank

[@FranksWay]

i'll do one anyway..
