INSPECTING THE FRONT
AND REAR SUSPENSIONS
WARNING
Have the front fork oil changed by an
aprilia
Official Dealer, who will ensure
you prompt and accurate servicing.
Carefully read pag. 55 (MAINTENANCE).
Change front fork oil every 15,000 km or
every 2 years.
Check the oil every 8000 km and change it
if it is dirty.
Change the fork oil more frequently if the
vehicle is used on dusty or wet roads or off
road.
Further, carry out the following checking
operations:
◆
With pulled front brake lever, press the
handlebar repeatedly, thrusting the fork
downwards.
The stroke must be gentle and there
must be no trace of oil on the rods.
◆
Check the fastening of all the
components and the functionality of the
front and rear suspension joints.
WARNING
If you notice irregularities in the
operation or if the help of a qualified
technician is necessary, contact your
aprilia
Official Dealer.
