necessary to have your Local aprilia Dealer
the transmission oil changed after the first

BRAKES
WARNING
Do not ride your vehicle with worn or
malfunctioning brakes! The brakes are
the most important safety system of your
vehicle, and using the bike with brakes
that are anything less than perfect is very
likely to lead to a collision or upset, with
consequent risk of serious injury or
death.
Check the brake pad wear, as shown on
p. 63 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR). Have your brakes serviced by
your Local aprilia Delear.

WARNING
Wet conditions seriously degrade the
performance of your brakes. When the
road is wet from rain, you should plan
to use double the normal stopping
distances since both the brakes them-
selves and the traction of the tires on the
road are reduced by the presence of water.
Water on the brakes from washing your
vehicle, or splashed up from wet roads,
or crossing puddles or ditches, can wet
the brakes sufficiently to greatly reduce
their effectiveness. Failure to heed these
warnings may lead to a serious accident
with consequent risk of serious injury or
even death.
NOTE
This vehicle is equipped with front
and rear disc brakes with separate hydraulic
systems. The following information may refer
to just one braking system but should be
observed with regard to both brakes.
WARNING
The brakes are extremely important for
your safety. Do not use the vehicle if the
brakes do not work perfectly. Always
check the brake efficiency before riding.
WARNING
If the "feel" or position of the brake lever
changes, this may be due to some
problem in the hydraulic brake system.
If you have any doubt regarding the
perfect functioning of your brake system,
or if the normal pre-ride checks indicate
any discrepancy, contact your Local
aprilia Delear before riding.
WARNING
Pay special attention to the brake disc
and friction material, making sure that
they are neither dirty nor oily, especially
after maintenance operations or
inspections.
Check the brake line, make sure that it
is not twisted or kinked, nor leaking.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF USED BRAKE FLUID
PROPERLY. SEE THE GENERAL
WARNINGS AT p. 4 (BRAKE FLUID).
