INSPECTING THE FRONT AND REAR
SUSPENSION
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
Read page 50 carefully.
Change the front suspension oil every 12000 km.
Furthermore, carry out the following checking opera-
tions:
– Push the fork repeatedly downwards, locking the
front brake. The stroke must be gentle and there
must be no trace of oil on the rods.
– Lift the rear wheel from the ground by using the
proper stand and check the rear fork bearings.
– Check the fastening of all the components and the
functionality of the front and rear suspension joints.
If you notice irregularities in the operation
or if the help of a qualified technician is
necessary, contact your aprilia Official
Dealer.
To change the fork oil, contact your
aprilia Official Dealer, who will ensure
you prompt and accurate servicing.
