that the effectiveness of the brakes is
reduced in any way, have your vehicle
serviced by your Local

It may be necessary to have your dealer
bleed the system, or there may be some
other problem with the brake system.
Never ride your vehicle in traffic immedi-
ately after servicing the brakes. Always

fore riding your vehicle. Then, try your
vehicle in a parking lot or other safe area
with little traffic to ensure that the brakes
are working properly. Failure to observe
this warning can lead to a serious acci-
dent with subsequent serious injury or
death.
Check the wheel centering.
Have the tightening torques, centering
and balancing of the wheel checked by
your Local
APRILIA
Dealer. These are
critical safety operations, and failure to
observe this warning could lead to an
upset with subsequent serious injury or
death.
