Unscrew the pump control rod (4) and restore the
◆
clearance between the brake adjuster and the
stroke point.
Make sure that some clearance is present
between brake rod and master cylinder.
This will avoid brake to be left unintentio-
nally operated with a consequent early wear of
braking system parts.
Brake rod and master cylinder clearance shall be:
0.5 ÷ 1 mm.
Lock the pump control rod by means of the lock
◆
nut (3).
Check the braking efficiency.
If necessary, contact your aprilia Official
Dealer.
