CAUTION
Do not operate the rear brake lever after
removing the wheel, since the pins may
go out of their seats and cause brake
fluid leakages. In this case consult your
aprilia Official Dealer, who will carry
out the proper maintenance operation.
NOTE
The support plate (8) complete
with brake caliper (9) remains positioned
on the left side of the rear fork.
Proceed with care. If the final drive unit
(10) is installed on the flexible coupling
holder (11), do not overturn or rotate the
rear wheel in horizontal position (on the
rear sprocket side), since the final drive
unit would come off and fall down, with the
risk of damaging the rear sprocket (7).

isn't necessary if the wheel is in the normal
running position (vertical) or in horizontal
position with the rear sprocket facing
upwards and in both cases secured
against overturning.
