Characteristics
•
If there is dirt, rust, moisture, etc., carefully clean the inside of the connector using pressur-
ised air.
•
Ensure that the cables make correct contact with the terminals inside the connectors.
•
Then plug in the two connectors, ensuring correct coupling (if the specific catches are
present, you will hear a typical "click").
CAUTION
TO UNPLUG THE TWO CONNECTORS, DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLES.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN BE PLUGGED IN ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION, THEREFORE JOIN
THEM TOGETHER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
CAUTION
IN THE EVENT THAT A SELFBRAKING NUT IS UNSCREWED, IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE
IT WITH A NEW ONE.
CAUTION
REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR ALL THE FIXING ELEMENTS LOCATED ON
WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A FUN-
DAMENTAL ROLE IN GUARANTEEING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND MUST BE KEPT AT
THE PRESCRIBED VALUES. REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE FIXING
ELEMENTS AND ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH WHEN REFITTING. IF THESE WARNINGS
ARE NOT OBSERVED, ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS COULD LOOSEN AND COME OFF,
BLOCKING A WHEEL OR CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WOULD COMPROMISE MA-
NOEUVRABILITY, LEADING TO A CRASH WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
Running-in
Running the engine in correctly is essential for ensuring engine longevity and functionality. Twisty roads
and gradients are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. Vary your riding
speed during the running in period. This ensures that components operate in "loaded" conditions and
then "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool.
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT
THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
Follow these guidelines:
•
Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the
running in period.
•
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged
braking. This allows the brake pad friction material to bed in correctly with the brake discs.
•
Preferably do not exceed 7500 rpm during the first 1000 km (621 mi) and 9500 rpm from
1000 to 2000 km (1243 mi).
AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN Official Aprilia Dealer FOR THE
