Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.
If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully
with a jet of compressed air.
Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals.
Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you
will hear them "click" into place).
CAUTION
DO NOT DISCONNECT CONNECTORS BY PULLING THE CABLES.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE CONNECTED IN ONE DIRECTION: CONNECT THEM
THE RIGHT WAY ROUND.
TIGHTENING TORQUES
CAUTION
REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON WHEELS,
BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE
IN ENSURING VEHICLE SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES. CHECK THE
TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ALWAYS USE
A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY CAUSE ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS TO LOOSEN OR
EVEN DETACH, CAUSING A WHEEL TO LOCK OR COMPROMISING VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS
MAY LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Running-in

Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. Twisty roads and gradients
are ideal to run-in engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. Vary your riding speed during the running
in period. In this way, you allow for the work of components to be "loaded" and then "unloaded", thus
cooling engine parts.
CAUTION
ONLY AFTER THE SERVICE AT THE END OF THE RUN-IN PERIOD CAN THE BEST PERFORM-
ANCE OF YOUR VEHICLE BE OBTAINED.
Follow the guidelines detailed below:
Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the
running in period.
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged
braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake
discs.
AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN Official aprilia Dealer FOR THE
CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "AFTER-RUN-IN" TABLE IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
SECTION, TO AVOID INJURING YOURSELF, OTHERS AND/OR DAMAGING THE VEHICLE.
