CHECKING THE STEERING
Carefully read p. 39 (MAINTENANCE).
Occasionally check the steering slack.
To check the steering it is necessary to:
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand,
see p. 38 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE
ON THE STAND).
NOTE Prepare a 270 mm high support, the
base of which must measure 200 x 200 mm.
◆ Place the support under the vehicle and
a spongy cloth between them, so that the
front wheel can move freely and the vehi-
cle cannot fall down.
Make sure that the vehicle is stable.
◆ Shake the fork in the direction of travel.
NOTE Do not shake the fork excesively,
otherwise you may take in consideration the
movement of the stand, thus observing an
incorrect slack.
Repeat the previous operation more than
once.
◆ If you find that there is a considerable
slack, contact your aprilia Official Dealer
to restore the optimal steering conditions.
WARNING
