REFITTING OF COMPONENTS
CAUTION
THE BEARINGS MUST TURN FREELY, WITHOUT LOCKING AND/OR NOISES, OTHERWISE
THEY MUST BE REPLACED.
•
Only use ORIGINAL Aprilia SPARE PARTS.
•
Comply with lubricant and consumables use guidelines.
•
Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them.
•
When tightening nuts and screws, start either from the components with the largest diameter
or from the innermost components, proceeding diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in suc-
cessive steps before applying the tightening torque.
•
Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings (OR), cotter pins
and screws with new parts if the thread is damaged.
•
When assembling the bearings, make sure to lubricate them well.
•
Check that each component is assembled correctly.
•
After a repair or routine maintenance, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on
private grounds or in an area with low traffic.
•
Clean all mating surfaces, oil seal rims and gaskets before refitting. Smear a thin layer of
lithium-based grease on the oil seal rims. Reassemble oil seals and bearings with the brand
or batch number facing outward (visible side).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
The electrical connectors are disconnected as follows, the non-compliance with this procedure leads
to irretrievable damages to the connector and to the wiring:
If available, press the specific safety couplings.
•
Hold the two connectors and deactivate them by pulling to the opposite direction of each
other.
•
If there are signs of dirt, rust, moisture etc. clean the inside of the connector using a pressure
air jet.
•
Make sure that the cables are properly seamed to the terminals inside the connectors.
•
Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you
will hear them "click" into place).
CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE TWO CONNECTORS DO NOT PULL THE CABLES.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE INSERTED IN ONE DIRECTION, SUBMITTING THEM TO
COUPLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
