CHECKING
◆
Position the vehicle on the side stand on
firm and level ground.
◆
Turn the handlebar completely leftwards.
◆
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the “
MIN
” mark.
MIN
= minimum level
MAX
= maximum level
If the fluid does not reach at least the “
MIN
”
mark:
a
CAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid decreases progressively to
compensate for their wear.
◆
Check the brake pad wear, see p. 67
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR)
and the disc wear.
If the pads and/or the disc do not need re-
placing, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
Carefully read p. 31 (BRAKE FLUID -
recommendations).
a
CAUTION
The brake fluid may flow out of the tank.
Do not operate the front brake lever if
the screws (1) are loose or, most impor-
tant, if the brake fluid tank cover has
been removed.
◆
Unscrew the two screws (1) of the brake
reservoir (2) by means of a short, cross-
headed screwdriver.
a
WARNING
Avoid any prolonged exposure of the
brake fluid to the air. The brake fluid is
hygroscopic and when in contact with
the air it absorbs its humidity.
Leave the brake fluid tank open ONLY
for the time necessary for topping up.
◆
Raise and remove the cover (3) together
with the screws (1) and the gasket (4).
CAUTION
In order not to spill the brake fluid while
topping up, do not shake the vehicle.
Do not put additives or other subtances
into the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other similar
items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
◆
Fill the tank (2) with brake fluid, see p. 90
(LUBRICANT CHART), until reaching
the correct level between the “
MIN
” and
“
MAX
” marks.
a
CAUTION
When topping up, never exceed the
“MAX” level.
It is advisable to top up until reaching
the “MAX” level only with new pads.
Do not reach the “MAX” level with worn
out pads, since this will cause a fluid
outflow when the pads are changed.
Check the braking efficiency.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever or reduced efficiency of the brak-
ing system, contact an
APRILIA
Official
Dealer, since it may be necessary to
bleed the system.
