CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR
Carefully read p. 22 (BRAKE FLUID (rec-
ommendations)), p. 22 (DISC BRAKES),
p. 36 (MAINTENANCE).
The following information refer to a sin-
gle braking system, but are valid for
both.
Remember:
1 miles = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
Check the brake pad wear after the first
1000 km and successively every 6000 km.
The wear of the brake pads depends on
the use, on the kind of drive and on the
road. The wear will be greater when the ve-
hicle is driven on dirty or wet roads.
To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of
the pads, proceed as follows:
U
Position the vehicle on the stand, see
p. 35 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON
THE STAND).
U
Carry out a visual checking of the friction
material thickness by looking between
the brake caliper and the pads. Proceed:
– from below for the front brake caliper
(6).
– from above for the rear brake caliper
(7).
U
If the thickness of the friction material
(even of one pad only) has reduced to
about 1 mm, replace both pads.
Have the pads changed by your
APRILIA
Official Dealer.
