REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS

Never reuse a circlip or snap ring. These parts must always be renewed once they have been disturbed.
When fitting a new circlip or snap ring, take care to move the open ends apart just enough to allow fitment to the shaft.
Make a rule to check that a newly-fitted circlip or snap ring has located fully into its groove.
Never clean a bearing with compressed air.
IMPORTANT
All bearings must rotate freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these
requirements.
- Use ORIGINAL aprilia SPARE PARTS only.
- Use the specified lubricants and consumables.
- Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.
- When tightening nuts and bolts, start with the largest or innermost nut/bolt and observe a cross pattern. Tighten evenly in
subsequent steps until achieving the specified torque.
- Replace any self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, circlips or snap rings, O-rings, split pins, bolts and screws which have a damaged
thread.
- Lubricate parts subject to wear abundantly before fitting the bearings.
- Make a rule to check that all components you have fitted are correctly in place.
- After repairing the motorcycle and after each service inspection, perform the preliminary checks, and then operate the
motorcycle in a private estate area or in a safe area away from traffic.
- Clean all joint surfaces, oil seal edges and gaskets before assembly.
Apply a light coat of lithium grease along the edges of oil seals. Fit oil seals and bearings with the brand or serial number facing
outwards (in view).

1.3.10 ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

Disconnect electrical connectors as follows; failure to follow the instructions can seriously damage the connectors and the wiring:
Press down on the locking tab, where fitted.
Never separate two connectors by pulling on the wiring.
Grasp both connectors and pull them in opposite directions until they become separated.
Remove any dirt, rust, moisture, etc. from inside the connector blowing with compressed air.
Ensure that the wires are securely crimped to the terminals inside each connector.
IMPORTANT
A connector will only locate properly into the matching connector when it is inserted in the correct mounting
position.
Reconnect the two connectors and ensure that they are fully engaged (the locking tab should click audibly into place).
