RS 125 Tuono
BRAKE FLUID-recommendations
This vehicle is provided with
front and rear disc brakes, with
separate hydraulic circuits.
The following information refers to a
single braking system, but is valid for
both.
Sudden resistance or clearance
problems on the brake lever may
be due to troubles in the hydrau-
lic system.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your Concessionario Ufficiale
aprilia
.
Make sure that the brake discs
are neither oily nor greasy, espe-
cially after maintenance or
checking operations.
Check that the brake cables are neither
twisted nor worn out.
Prevent water or dust from accidentally
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
skin or the eyes, it can cause serious ir-
ritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body
that get in contact with the liquid.
Consult a doctor or an oculist if the liq-
uid gets in contact with your eyes.
Do not dispose of the brake fluid in the
environment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
When using the brake fluid, take
care not to spill it on the plastic
or painted parts, since it can
damage them.
DISC BRAKES
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 Concessionario Ufficiale
aprilia
.
Use brake fluid of the type specified in
the lubricant chart, see page 81 (LUBRI-
CANT CHART).
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 com-
pensate 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 un-
der the upper part of the fairing, on the
right side of the vehicle.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the tanks, see page 27 (FRONT BRAKE),
page 28 (REAR BRAKE) and the wear of
the pads, see page 61 (CHECKING THE
BRAKE PAD WEAR).
