Front brake line leak (recall)

A front brake line fitting can leak fluid and cost you the front brake — recall 16V854000 covers 2013-2016 1190 Adventure and Adventure R. Verify recall completion by VIN, then squeeze the front lever hard and hold it, watching for a sinking lever or fluid at the fittings. The recall fix is free at a KTM dealer.

BEFORE YOU BUY
