Controls At The Right Hand Grip - APRILIA RSV mile Use & Maintenance Book

CONTROLS AT THE RIGHT HAND GRIP

1) ENGINE STOP SWITCH (GH – @I)
Use the engine stop switch to stop the engine only in case of
emergency. It is essential that you be very familiar with this
control so that you will automatically stop the engine in the
event of a stuck throttle or other engine runaway.
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a collision with
another vehicle, or an upset.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with the engine stop
switch located on the right handlebar.
Do not attempt to restart the engine until the throttle has
been repaired and works perfectly. Failure to obey this war-
ning can lead to a runaway with seriously injuries or even
death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a double cable throttle. One ca-
ble opens the throttle when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you rotate the grip
away from you. It is essential, when you release the throttle
grip, that it automatically return to the idle position.
This double cable arrangement enhances safety by providing
for positive closing of the throttle.
In the event of a throttle sticking emergency, always kill the
engine using the engine stop switch located near the throttle
grip on the right handlebar. Never use your vehicle if the
throttle does not automatically fully return to the idle position
when the throttle grip is released. Contact your Local aprilia
Dealer for repairs. Failure to heed this warning can lead to a
serious accident and subsequent injury or even death.
