LUBRICATED AND GOOD OPERATING CONDITIONS RESTORED. IF REPAIR IS
NOT POSSIBLE, CONTACT AN Official Aprilia Dealer TO HAVE IT REPLACED.
Chain lubrication and cleaning
Never wash the chain with high pressure air/water jets or steam jets or highly flam-
mable solvents.
•
Wash the chain with fuel oil or kerosene. Maintenance operations should be
more frequent if there are signs of quick rust.
Lubricate the chain whenever necessary.
•
After washing and drying the chain, lubricate it with spray grease for sealed
chains.
THE TRANSMISSION CHAIN HAS RUBBER O-RINGS BETWEEN THE SIDE
PLATES OF THE CHAIN ITSELF THAT ARE USED TO HOLD THE GREASE. UT-
MOST ATTENTION IS REQUIRED WHEN ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING, WASHING
OR REPLACING THE CHAIN.
CHAIN LUBRICANTS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET CAN CONTAIN SUBSTAN-
CES THAT DAMAGE THE CHAIN'S RUBBER O-RINGS.
NEVER USE THE VEHICLE JUST AFTER LUBRICATING THE CHAIN, AS THE
LUBRICANT WOULD BE SPRAYED OUTWARD AND SPREAD OUT IN THE SUR-
ROUNDING AREA.
