FRONT WHEEL
DISASSEMBLY
Never press the front brake lever after re-
moving the brake callipers, otherwise the
calliper pistons may go out of their seat,
thus causing the outflow of the brake fluid. In this
case consult your aprilia Official Dealer, who will
carry out the proper maintenance operation.
Read page 50 carefully.
To remove the front wheel, proceed as follows:
– place the vehicle on the side stand;
– remove the two fastening screws of the brake calli-
per (1-Fig. 34);
– disconnect the odometer cable (1-Fig. 35);
– loosen the wheel pin screw (2-Fig. 34);
– loosen the four screws of the fork clamps (3-Fig.
34, 2-Fig. 35);
– raise the front part of the vehicle and place a sup-
port under the engine, to prevent the vehicle from
falling down after the wheel has been removed;
– remove the pin screw (2-Fig. 34);
– unscrew and extract the pin (3-Fig. 35);
– remove the wheel.
