Changing The Transmission Oil - APRILIA RS 50 Workshop Manual

Periodic Maintenance Operations

CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION OIL

Read through the paragraph TRANSMISSION OIL
and the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Check the transmission oil level every 4000 km (2500
mi), change it after the first 500 km (312 mi) and
successively every 8000 km (5000 mi).
CHANGING
Start the engine, see (STARTING) and let it idle for a
few minutes, in order to facilitate the outflow of the oil
during the draining phase.
NOTE
Position the vehicle on firm and flat ground.
Stop the engine and let it cool down for at least ten
minutes, in order to allow the oil to flow back to the oil
pan and to cool down.
WARNING
When warmed up, the engine contains hot oil;
therefore, while carrying out the operations de-
scribed here below be particularly careful, in order
to avoid burns.
Remove the right fairing, see (REMOVING THE SIDE
FAIRINGS).
Remove the exhaust silencer, see (REMOVING THE
EXHAUST SILENCER).
WARNING
Danger of fall or overturning.
When the vehicle is straightened from
the parking position to the driving position,
the stand goes automatically up.
