use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. STRADA - TRAIL
DISC BRAKES
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 by an aprilia Authorised
Dealer.
Use brake fluid of the type specified in
the lubricant chart, see page 93
(LUBRICANT CHART).
NOTE This vehicle is provided with disc
brakes with two -front and rear- braking
systems having separate hydraulic circuits.
The front braking system is with single disc
(left side).
The rear brake uses a single disc (fitted to
the right side of the wheel).
The following information refers to a single
braking system, but is valid for both.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of
the fluid decreases to automatically
compensate for their wear.
The front brake fluid tank is positioned on
the right handlebar, near the front brake
lever coupling.
The rear brake reservoir is positioned on
the right side of the vehicle, near the rear
brake control lever.
NOTE Carry out the maintenance
operations halving the intervals indicated, if
the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas or
on uneven surfaces.
Have the brake discs checked by an aprilia
Authorised Dealer after the first 1000 km
(625 mi) and successively every 10000 km
(6250 mi).
Before departure, check the brake fluid level
in the reservoirs, see page 72 (CHECKING
THE BRAKE PAD WEAR), page 35 (FRONT
BRAKE), and the wear of the pads, see page
37 (REAR BRAKE).
Have the brake fluid changed every two
years by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the braking
system leaks fluid.
