After servicing the brakes, always che-
ck them for function. If the stroke of the
lever or pedal is excessive, or if you de-
tect that the effectiveness of the brakes
is reduced in any way, have your vehi-
cle serviced by your Local

aprilia

Dea-

ler. 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 imme-
diately after servicing the brakes.
Always apply the brake pedal or lever se-
veral times before 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 accident with subsequent
serious injury or death.
