BRAKE FLUID - Recommendations
NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and
rear disc brakes.
Each braking system is operated by an
independent hydraulic circuit. The information
provided below applies to both braking
systems.
Any sudden changes in play or hardness in
the brake lever are warning signs of
problems with the hydraulic circuits.
If in doubt about the braking efficiency of
your bike or if you are not able to perform
routine checks, contact an aprilia Official
Dealer.
Ensure that the brake discs and brake
linings have not become contaminated with
oil or grease. This is particularly important
after servicing or inspections.
Make sure the brake lines are not twisted
or worn.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT RELEASE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
DISC BRAKES
The brakes are critical to your safety and
must always be kept in sleek running order.
Check the brakes before each ride.
A dirty disc soils the pads, leading to loss
of braking. Dirty pads must be replaced,
whereas a dirty brake disk may be cleaned
with a high-quality degreasing product.
Have brake fluid changed at an aprilia
Official Dealer every two years.
