FRONT DISC BRAKE
WARNING
The brakes are the parts that most
ensure your safety and for this
reason they must always be perfectly
working; check them before every trip.
A dirty disc soils the pads, with
consequent reduction of the braking
efficiency. Dirty pads must be replaced,
while dirty discs must be cleaned with a
high-quality degreaser.
The brake fluid must be changed every
two years at an aprilia Official Dealer.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your 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
compensate for their wear.
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is positioned
near the front brake lever coupling.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the reservoir (1) and the pad wear, see
page 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR).
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the braking
system leaks fluid.
CHECKING
To check the brake fluid level, proceed as
follows:
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
◆ Rotate the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the brake reservoir is
parallel to the ≈MIN∆ mark stamped on
the glass gauge (2).
◆ Make sure that the fluid contained in the
reservoir exceeds the ≈MIN∆ mark
stamped on the glass gauge (2).
MIN = minimum level.
If the fluid does not reach at least the ≈MIN∆
mark:
CAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid decreases progressively to
compensate for their wear.
◆ Check the brake pad wear, see see
page 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR).
If the pads and / or the disc do not need
replacing:
◆ Contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who
will provide for topping up.
CAUTION
Check the braking efficiency.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever or reduced efficiency of the
braking system, contact an aprilia
Official Dealer, since it may be
necessary to bleed the system.
