Occasionally check the steering slack.
Check as follows:
u Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
NOTE Provide a support of adequate
height and width to support the vehicle
safely.
u Place the support under the vehicle and
a spongy cloth between them, so that

slack, contact your aprilia Authorised
Dealer to restore the optimal steering
conditions.
