This manual provides the main information to carry out regular maintenance operations on your vehicle. This manual is intended to aprilia Dealers and their qualified mechanics; several concepts have been deliberately omitted as they are considered unnecessary. As it is not possible to include complete mechanical notions in this manual, users should have basic mechanical knowledge or minimum knowledge about the procedures involved when repairing scooters.

RSV4 RR-RF Electrical system mally, the tester will sound an audible signal to confirm continuity in the section of circuit tested. Continuity may also be tested by setting the tester selector to the "Ohm" symbol and checking that the resistance in the circuit is zero or of a few tenths of an Ohm. IMPORTANT: WHERE GROUND IS PROVIDED BY THE ECU, CHECK THAT THE ECU IS EFFEC- TIVELY PROVIDING THE GROUND CONNECTION FOR THE CIRCUIT DURING THE TEST.

RSV4 RR-RF Braking system B - Pressure reduction: coincides with the recognition of the dangerous situation (wheel slippage exceeds the threshold): the system closes the inlet valve (10-11) and opens the outlet valve (12-13) temporarily. At this stage the rider cannot increase the pressure on the callipers (8-9) and the system reduces the pressure on the callipers partially.
Page 469
RSV4 RR-RF Braking system When sensors (3) detect a significant speed difference between the rear and the front wheels (for example, when rearing up on the back wheel), the ABS system could take this as a dangerous situation. In this case, 2 things may occur: - the ABS system intervenes by releasing pressure from the calliper until the wheel turns again at the same speed of the other wheel;...

RSV4 RR-RF Braking system Bleeding the braking system Front Any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit acts as a cushion, absorbing much of the pressure applied by the brake pump and minimising the braking power of the calliper.
