Running-In; Regular Service Intervals Chart - APRILIA RALLY 50 - 2000 Manual

a
Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle
or variation of the ground.
Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications
painted on the road surface, building site metal
plates become rather slippery by rain. For this
reason all these obstacles have to be carefully
avoided, driving smoothly and bending the vehi-
cle as little as possible.
Always use the turn indicators timely when you
intend to change lane or direction, avoiding
sharp and dangerous movements.

If the mixer oil reserve warning light "
comes on during the normal functioning
of the engine, this means that the mixer
oil reserve is being used; in this case, top up the
mixer oil tank, see p. 26 (MIXER OIL TANK).

After the first 500 kilometres, carry out the
checking operations indicated in the col-
umn "After running-in" of the REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see p. 42, in order
to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or
damaging the vehicle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its
correct functioning and its correct functioning. If pos-
sible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many
j
bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the
"
brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
For the first 500 km, keep to the following indications:
0-100 km
During the first 100 km put on the brakes with cau-
tion, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings.
This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the
brake disc.
0-300 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than one half
for long stretches.
300-500 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than three-
fourths for long stretches.
