    WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE, THE IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR LIGHT FLASH- 02_117 System a-PRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) (02_118, 02_119, 02_120) Aprilia Performance Ride Control is an integrated electronic control system that helps improving the performance and the driver's safety. a-PRC consists of 9 systems: ALC: Aprilia Launch Control;...
  • Page 90 Aprilia Launch Control Launch control: a system designed to help the rider optimise acceleration during standing starts. Its level can be changed from 1 (minimum intervention) to 3 (maximum intervention) CAUTION THE ALC SYSTEM MUST BE USED WITH EXTREME PRUDENCE AS THERE IS NO FUNCTION TO PREVENT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM TIPPING OVER IN ANY OF THE THREE POSSIBLE SETTING LEVELS.
  • Page 91 ALC, controlled launch, is a specific traction control use system that takes into con- sideration the initial sped as zero. Once the LAUNCH control function is activated and the throttle is opened completely, the engine speed increases to and is maintained at approximately 10,000 rpm, irrespective of the level set.
  • Page 92 The three systems can therefore be set independently of one another and can function simultaneously. Aprilia Engine Brake is a system which manages the engine brake, with three select- able levels: • Level 1 has the least invasive engine brake.
  • Page 93 This results in an optimized compression and extension damping, based on the ve- hicle's behaviour during driving. The system permanently adjusts the compression and extension damping levels according to the circumstances. The ASC system also controls the steering damper, whose function is to dampen the rotation of the handlebar.
  • Page 94 • Front compression: Energy absorption control when the front suspension is compressed. Therefore, the compression is adjusted when the front wheel is subjected to a load. • Front extension:Energy absorption control when the front suspension is in extension phase. It adjusts the speed with which the suspension returns to the normal position after having been compressed.
  • Page 95 • Acceleration support Control that allows balancing the suspensions during the acceleration phases, limiting (depending on the set value) the load var- iation and consequently offering better control. • Mid-corner support: Control that allows balancing the suspensions while cornering, limiting (based on the set value) the load variations and conse- quently offering better control.
  • Page 96 IS DISCONNECTED, THE CURRENTLY USED MODE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL FLASH, INDICATING A FAULT OF THE ASC SYSTEM. THEREFORE, DRIVE CAREFULLY AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN OFFICIAL APRILIA DEALER. CAUTION EVEN IF A FAULT IS SIGNALLED AND THEREFORE WHEN THERE IS NO ELEC- TRONIC SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT, THEY WILL NOT LOSE THEIR TRADI- TIONAL MECHANICAL FUNCTIONALITY.
  • Page 97 The ABS system may be set to three different levels from 1 (minimum slip control) to 3 (maximum slip control), from the specific setting screen (see paragraph in the "SE- LECTING MAPS"). Level 1 is suitable for performance use by expert riders only. At this level the lifting control of the rear wheel is not active and neither is the cornering system.
  • Page 98 - the ABS system is working. If the ABS disabled indication remains: NOTE SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CONTACT AN Aprilia Approved Dealer. NOTE IN CASE OF EXTENDED REAR WHEEL ROTATION WITH THE FRONT ONE LOCKED (BURNOUT, MOTORCYCLE ON THE CENTRE STAND, ETC.) THE SYS- TEM CAN BE DEACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE ABS and a-PRC INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON.
  • Page 99 IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON- TACT AN Authorised Aprilia Workshop. WHERE THE MOTORCYCLE HAS AN ABS SYSTEM, NON-APPROVED BRAKE PADS AND TYRES COMPROMISE SMOOTH BRAKING, DRASTICALLY REDUC- ING DRIVING SAFETY.
  • Page 100 SUCH BEHAVIOUR IS TO BE CONSIDERED NORMAL AND DOES NOT CREATE MALFUNCTIONS IN THE SYSTEM. IF THE GAP FOR ONE OR BOTH SENSORS IS NOT WITHIN THE TOLERANCE INDICATED BELOW, TAKE THE MOTORCYCLE TO AN Approved Aprilia Dealer Characteristic Distance between tone wheel and front sensor 0.5 - 2.00 mm (0.020 - 0.079 in)
  • Page 101 THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CANNOT PREVENT FALLS WHILE COR- NERING. ACCELERATING SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INCLINED OR WITH THE HANDLEBARS TURNED WILL PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE STATE THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RECTIFY. DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. LIMITS OF GRIP ARE DETERMINED BY LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH EVEN THE ATC SYSTEM CANNOT OVERCOME.
  • Page 102 - ATC system working correctly. If the 'ATC system deactivated' indication persists: NOTE SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CONTACT AN Aprilia Approved Dealer. THE ATC SYSTEM ACTS ON THE REAR WHEEL ON THE BASIS OF INFORMA- TION RECEIVED FROM TONE WHEELS INSTALLED ON BOTH WHEELS. AL-...
  • Page 103 NOTE a-PRC SYSTEM SENSORS, WITH HIGH PRECISION OF READING THE TONE WHEELS, CAN GENERATE, WITH MOTORCYCLE AT STANDSTILL AND ENGINE RUNNING, A km/h (mi) SPEED INDICATION IN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. SUCH PERFORMANCE IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE a-PRC SYSTEM. Characteristic Distance between tone wheel and front sensor 0.5 - 2.00 mm (0.020 - 0.079 in)
  • Page 104 THE BEST SUITED TO YOUR RIDING STYLE AND FOR DIFFERENT ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. LEVEL "1" IS RECOMMENDED FOR EXPERT RIDERS IN IDEAL ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS. ALL OTHER LEVELS ARE INTERMEDIATE SETTINGS BETWEEN LEVEL "1" AND LEVEL "8". To deactivate the system, set the control level to "0". The a-PRC indicator light is constantly lit.

  • Page 106 CAUTION THE CLUTCH MUST BE USED FOR UPSHIFTS AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW 3,000 RPM. CAUTION THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE WHEN SHIFTING UP ONLY WITH THE THROTTLE OPEN. It can operate when downshifting as long as all the required conditions are met, in- cluding an rpm less than the maximum threshold, which varies according to the gear.

  • Page 206: Scheduled Maintenance Table

    Scheduled maintenance table (06_01, 06_02) Adequate maintenance is fundamental to ensure long-lasting, optimum operation and performance of your vehicle. For this reason a series of checks and maintenance services has been prepared, available for purchase separately, listed together in the chart on the following page. It is a good idea to report small performance anomalies right away to an Authorised Service Centre, without waiting for the next scheduled service, so they can be re- paired immediately.
  • Page 207 Therefore it is recommended to perform the check and adjustment operations at an Authorised Aprilia-Piaggio Workshop every 5,000 km (3,106.86 mi). (8) Replace at whichever of the following occurs first: 40,000 km (24,854.85 mi) or 4 years.

In case of using the new RSV4 on a competitive level, as for sport events and use on the track, in order to correctly monitor the effective degree of technological stress of the mechan- ical components, an electric device intervenes that registers the engine per- formance and allows to plan eventual maintenance.
