CHECKING THE STEERING
Carefully read p. 43 (MAINTENANCE).
Occasionally check the steering slack.
To check the steering it is necessary to:
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
NOTE
Prepare a 185 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 ve-
hicle cannot fall down.
!
WARNING
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 condi-
tions.
