CHECKING THE FRONT AND REAR
SUSPENSION

Read page 40 (MAINTENANCE) carefully.

Have front suspension oil changed at an
aprilia Official Dealer, who can ensure
you an accurate and prompt service.

Have the front suspension oil changed every
30000 km (18750 miles) or every 4 years.

Perform the following checks after the first
1000 km (625 miles) and every 6000 km
(3750 miles) afterwards:

◆

Keep the front brake lever activated and
press down repeatedly on the handlebar
to compress the front fork.

◆

The front fork should compress in a
smooth motion. Inspect the fork legs for
any traces of oil.

◆

Ensure that all parts are properly tightened
and check the articulated joints of the
rear and front suspension for proper
operation.

In the event of malfunction or if the
suspension needs expert servicing, contact
an aprilia Official Dealer.
