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

irritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body

DISC BRAKES
WARNING
The brakes are the parts that most
ensure your safety and for this reason
they must always be perfectly working;
check them before every trip.
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
compensate for their wear.
The front brake fluid tank is positioned on
the right part of the handlebar, near the
front brake lever coupling.
The rear brake fluid tank is positioned
under the upper part of the fairing, on the
right side of the vehicle.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the tanks, see p. 24 (FRONT BRAKE),
p. 25 (REAR BRAKE) and the wear of the
pads, see p. 57 (CHECKING THE BRAKE
PAD WEAR).
