REASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS
CAUTION
BEARINGS MUST BE ABLE TO ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE: OTH-
ERWISE, THEY NEED TO 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).
ELECTRIC CONNECTORS
Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below; failure to comply with this procedure
causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the cable harness:
Press the relevant safety hooks, if any.
•
Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.
•
If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully
with a jet of compressed air.
•
Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals.
•
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 CONNECT ONLY FROM ONE SIDE: CONNECT THEM THE RIGHT WAY
ROUND.
TIGHTENING TORQUES
CAUTION
DO NOT FORGET THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON
WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL BOLTS AND ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A
KEY ROLE IN ENSURING VEHICLE SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES.
CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING PARTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AL-
