a
WARNING
Do not ride your vehicle with worn or
malfunctioning brakes! The brakes are
the most important safety system of
your vehicle, and using the bike with
brakes that are anything less than per-
fect is very likely to lead to a collision or
upset, with consequent risk of serious
injury or death.
Check the brake pad wear, as shown on
p. 66 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR). Have your brakes serviced by
your Local
APRILIA
Delear.
3
Check the brake shoe wear, as
shown on p. 67 (CHECKING THE SHOE
WEAR
3
). Have your brakes serviced
by your Local
APRILIA
Delear.
a
WARNING
Wet conditions seriously degrade the
performance of your brakes. When the
road is wet from rain, you should plan
to use double the normal stopping dis-
tances since both the brakes them-
selves and the traction of the tires on
the road are reduced by the presence of
water.
Water on the brakes from washing your
vehicle, or splashed up from wet roads,
or crossing puddles or ditches, can wet
the brakes sufficiently to greatly reduce
their effectiveness. Failure to heed
these warnings may lead to a serious
accident with consequent risk of seri-
ous injury or even death.
NOTE
This vehicle is equipped with
front and rear disc brakes with separate
hydraulic systems.
The following information may refer to just
one braking system but should be ob-
served with regard to both brakes.
NOTE
3
For the version with rear
drum brake
3
, the following information
refers to the front disc brake only.
a
WARNING
The brakes are extremely important for
your safety. Do not use the vehicle if the
brakes do not work perfectly. Always
check the brake efficiency before riding.
a
WARNING
If the “feel” or position of the brake le-
ver changes, this may be due to some
problem in the hydraulic brake system.
If you have any doubt regarding the per-
fect functioning of your brake system,
or if the normal pre-ride checks indicate
any discrepancy, contact your Local
APRILIA
Delear before riding.
a
WARNING
Pay special attention to the brake disc
and friction material, making sure that
they are neither dirty nor oily, especially
after maintenance operations or inspec-
tions.
Check the brake line, make sure that it
is not twisted or kinked, nor leaking.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
