Rear Brake Spring KTM Aluminum Anodized Red Rear Brake Return Spring

Description

Product Overview

The KTM rear brake spring is a precision‑engineered component designed to replace or upgrade the original brake return spring on a wide range of KTM motorcycles. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum, the spring offers an excellent strength‑to‑weight ratio, ensuring that the braking system responds quickly and reliably without adding unnecessary mass to the rear wheel assembly. The anodized red finish not only provides a striking visual contrast that matches many KTM paint schemes, but also adds a protective layer that resists corrosion, wear, and the harsh environmental conditions encountered on both street and off‑road riding.

Key specifications include a compact package measuring 1.75 x 0.75 x 0.33 inches and a lightweight of just 1.58 ounces, making it easy to handle during installation. The spring features a pivot‑point attachment mechanism that aligns perfectly with the rear brake caliper, delivering consistent tension and a smooth return motion after each braking event. The ambidextrous hand orientation means the part can be installed on either side of the bike without concern for left‑ or right‑handed configurations, simplifying inventory management for dealers and reducing the chance of installation errors for DIY enthusiasts.

The product is supplied with all necessary installation hardware, including the mounting brackets and fasteners required to secure the spring in place. This all‑in‑one package eliminates the need to source additional components, saving time and reducing the overall cost of the repair or upgrade. The spring is identified by the part number 79003062000, which matches the OEM specification for KTM rear brake systems, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Usage

The rear brake spring is intended for use on KTM motorcycles that employ a hydraulic rear brake system with a return spring mechanism. It is ideal for riders who demand precise brake modulation, whether they are navigating tight city streets, carving through twisty mountain roads, or tackling rugged trail sections. By providing a consistent spring force, the component helps maintain balanced brake feel, reducing the likelihood of brake fade during prolonged descents or aggressive riding.

Installation is straightforward and can be completed by experienced mechanics or confident DIY owners. The spring’s easy‑install design means that, with basic hand tools, the old spring can be removed, the new spring positioned, and the hardware tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Because the spring is lightweight, it does not significantly affect the unsprung weight of the rear wheel, preserving handling characteristics and suspension response.

Typical applications include replacement of a worn or broken OEM spring, performance upgrades for track days where precise brake modulation is critical, and restoration projects where authenticity and OEM‑level fit are required. The spring’s durability makes it suitable for high‑temperature environments, such as long downhill runs where brake components can become extremely hot. In these scenarios, the aluminum construction dissipates heat more efficiently than heavier steel alternatives, helping to maintain spring tension and brake feel throughout the ride.

FAQ

Is this rear brake spring compatible with all KTM models?

The spring is designed to fit the majority of KTM motorcycles that use the standard rear brake return spring configuration. Compatibility is confirmed by the part number 79003062000, which matches the OEM specification for many KTM models released after 2010. For older or niche models, we recommend checking the bike’s service manual or contacting our support team with your VIN for confirmation.

Do I need any special tools to install the spring?

No special tools are required. A basic set of hand tools, such as a socket wrench, screwdriver, and pliers, is sufficient to remove the old spring and install the new one. The included hardware is pre‑drilled to the correct dimensions, and torque specifications are provided in the installation guide that accompanies the product.

How does the spring’s performance compare to the original OEM part?

The spring matches the OEM’s spring rate and tension, delivering identical brake return feel. Because it is made from high‑grade aluminum and features an anodized coating, it often outperforms the original steel spring in terms of corrosion resistance and weight reduction, which can translate to slightly improved handling dynamics.

Can I use this spring on a bike that has been heavily modified?

Yes, as long as the brake system retains the standard rear brake caliper and spring mounting points, the spring will function correctly. For heavily modified setups that involve custom brake calipers or alternative mounting configurations, we advise consulting a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fit and performance.

What warranty does the rear brake spring carry?

The spring comes with a one‑year limited warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. If the spring fails due to a defect within the warranty period, we will replace it at no additional cost. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as accidents.
