The brakes are the parts that
most ensure your safety and for
this reason they must always be
perfectly working.
The brake fluid must be changed once a
year by an APRILIA Official Dealer.
This vehicle is provided with front hydraulic
disc brake.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of
the fluid decreases to automatically com-
pensate for their wear.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the tank (1) and the wear of the pads, see
p. 46 (CHECKING THE PAD WEAR).
To check the fluid level, incline the vehicle
so that the fluid contained in the tank (1) is
parallel to the ground.
If the fluid does not reach the "MIN" notch,
provide for topping up.
To top up, proceed as follows:
◆
Remove the handlebar cover, see p. 49
(REMOVING THE FRONT HANDLE-
BAR COVER).
◆
Unscrew the two screws (2).
◆
Remove the cover (3).
In order not to spill the brake flu-
id while topping up, keep the flu-
id in the tank parallel to the
ground.
◆
Remove the gasket.
◆
Fill the tank with brake fluid, until this
covers the glass completely.
◆
Put the gasket back.
◆
Put the cover (3) back.
◆
Tighten the two screws (2).
Check the braking efficiency.
If necessary, contact your
APRILIA Official Dealer.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever, of excessive elasticity or in case
there is air in the circuit, contact your
APRILIA Official Dealer, since it may be
necessary to bleed the system.
In any case, the bleeding must be car-
ried out after the first 500 km.
Remember:
1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
