WARNINGS AT p. 4 (CLUTCH FLUID).
WARNING
As mentioned above, the clutch is an
important safety system on your vehi-
cle. For your safety, it must be in perfect
repair, so it should be checked every
time you ride your vehicle.
Perform these maintenance operations
at one-half of the specified intervals, if
your vehicle is often used in rainy or
very dusty conditions, on unpaved
roads, or in any kind of competition.
Have your Local aprilia Dealer check
the levels of the clutch fluid in the reser-
voirs after the first 600 mi (1,000 km).
Arrange with your Local aprilia Dealer to
flush the systems and change all of the
clutch fluid once every two years.
The clutch fluid reservoir (1) is located on
the left end of the handlebar near the
clutch lever.
Before riding and every 3,750 mi (6,000
km), check the levels of the clutch fluid in
the reservoir, see p. 62 (CHECKING THE
SYSTEM).
WARNING
Never use your vehicle if the clutch hy-
draulic system is leaking.
WARNING
Have your Local aprilia Dealer check the
clutch conditions every 4,650 mi (7,500
km).
NOTE
The engine is provided with an
hydraulic control clutch, aided by the PPC
(Pneumatic Power Clutch) exclusive pat-
ented system, which avoids the bouncing
of the rear wheel.
