BRAKE FLUID - recommendations
CAUTION
This vehicle is fitted
with front and rear disc brakes. Each brak-
ing system is operated by an independent
hydraulic circuit.
The following information applies to both
braking systems.
WARNING
Sudden changes in brake lever play or a
spongy feel of the lever may indicate
problems with the hydraulic system.
If in doubt about the braking efficiency
of your bike or if you are not able to per-
form routine checks, contact an
aprilia
Authorised dealer.
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.
Make sure the brake hose is not twisted
or worn.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRON-
MENT.
DISC BRAKES
WARNING
The brakes are critical to your safety
and must always be kept in sleek run-
ning order. Check the brakes before
each ride.
A dirty disc will soil the pads, leading to
loss of braking efficiency. Dirty pads
must be replaced, while dirty discs
must be cleaned with a high-quality de-
greaser.
Have brake fluid changed at an
aprilia
Authorised dealer every two years.
