CHECKING THE PAD WEAR (Fig. 45)
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
Read pages 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 50 carefully.
Check the brake pad wear after the first 1000 km,
then every 4000 km.
The wear of the disc brake pads depends on the use,
on the kind of drive and on the road.
The wear will be greater when the vehicle is driven
on dirty or wet roads.
To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of the front
pads, proceed as follows:
– remove the protection cover (1);
– look through the opening of the brake calliper;
– if the thickness (even of one pad only) is reduced
to about 1 mm, replace both pads.
To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of the rear
pads, proceed as follows:
– open the cover;
– if the thickness (even of one pad only) has reduced
to about 1 mm, replace both pads.

Have the pads changed by your aprilia
