Carefully read page 24 (BRAKE FLUID
(RECOMMENDATIONS)), page 25
(FRONT BRAKE), page 37 (MAINTE-
NANCE).
Check the brake pad wear after the first
500 km and successively every 4000 km.
The wear of the brake pads depends on
the use, on the kind of drive and on the
road.
The wear will be greater when the vehicle
is driven on dirty or wet roads.
To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of
the front pads, proceed as follows:
◆
Position the vehicle on the stand.
◆
Remove the brake calliper cover (1).
◆
Carry out a visual checking of the friction
material thickness by looking between
the brake calliper and the pads.
If the thickness of the friction material
(even of one pad only) has reduced to
about 1 mm, replace both pads.
Have the pads changed by your
APRILIA Official Dealer.

Carefully read page 37 (MAINTENANCE)
and page 26 (REAR BRAKE).
To check the wear of the rear brake shoes
it is necessary:
◆
To remove the rear wheel, see p. 44
(REAR WHEEL).
◆
At this point it is possible to check the
thickness of the friction material, which
must never be less than 1 mm.
If the minimum allowed limit has been
reached, if you notice any irregularity in
the operation or if any part is damaged,
contact your aprilia Official Dealer, who
will provide for changing the brake
shoes.
Remember:
1 mile = 1.6 km
