CHECK
◆
Remove the right side panel, see p. 73
(REMOVING THE RIGHT AND LEFT
SIDES).
◆
Keep the vehicle in vertical position.
◆
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. 80
(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. 29 (BRAKE FLUID -
recommendations).
a
CAUTION
The brake fluid may flow out of the tank.
Do not pull the rear brake lever if the
brake fluid tank cover has been re-
moved.
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.
◆
Unscrew and remove the plug (1).
◆
Remove the gasket (2).
a
CAUTION
In order not to spill the brake fluid while
topping up, keep the fluid in the tank
parallel to the tank rim (in horizontal po-
sition).
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 (3) with brake fluid, see p.
104 (LUBRICANT CHART), until reach-
ing the correct level between the “
MIN ”
and “ MAX ” marks.
a
CAUTION
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.
