APRILIA RSV MILLE R TUONO - 2002 Manual page 113

"R" FORK  ( )
The standard setting of the front fork is
adjusted in such a way as to be suitable for
racetrack riding.
However, it is possible to adjust the setting
according to how the vehicle is going to be
used.
To calculate the number of clicks of the
adjusters (1-2), always start from the
most rigid setting (complete clockwise
rotation of the adjuster).
Use the adjusters (1-2) as reference
point for the adjustment of the hydraulic
compression and rebound damping (1-
2).
Give the adjusters (1-2) one notch at a
time.
The adjustments for the use of the
vehicle on racetracks must be carried
out exclusively in case of organized
races or events that take place on
isolated circuits, away from public
roads and with the consent of the
competent authorities.
It is strictly prohibited to carry out
adjustments for the use of the vehicle
on racetracks and then ride it on roads
or motorways.
