"2!+% &,5)$ RECOMMENDATIONS
This vehicle is provided with
front and rear disc brakes, with
separate hydraulic circuits.
The following information refers to a
single braking system, but is valid for
both.
Sudden resistance or clearance
problems on the brake lever may
be due to troubles in the hydrau-
lic system.
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.
Make sure that the brake disc is
neither oily nor greasy, especial-
ly after maintenance or checking
operations.
Check that the brake cable is neither
twisted nor worn out.
Prevent water or dust from accidentally
getting into the circuit.
In case maintenance operations are to
be performed on the hydraulic circuit, it
is advisable to use latex gloves.
If the brake fluid gets in contact with the
skin or the eyes, it can cause serious ir-
ritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body
that get in contact with the liquid. Con-
sult a doctor or an oculist if the liquid
gets in contact with your eyes.
Do not dispose of the brake fluid in the
environment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN
When using the brake fluid, take
care not to spill it on the plastic
or painted parts, since it can
damage them.

The brakes are the parts that
most ensure your safety and for
this reason they must always be
perfectly working.
The brake fluid must be changed once a
year by an
APRILIA
Official Dealer.
This vehicle is provided with front and rear
hydraulic disc brakes.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of
the fluid decreases to automatically com-
pensate for their wear.
The front brake fluid tank is positioned on
the handlebar, near the front brake lever
coupling.
The rear brake fluid tank is positioned un-
der the right side; to reach it, remove the
right side, see p. 48 (REMOVING THE
RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES).
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the tanks, see p. 23 (FRONT BRAKE) and
the wear of the pads, see p. 51 (CHECK-
ING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).
